    Boise, Idaho
    Founded in 2011
    Whatever it is that you are passionate about learn it, and then share it. Dani and Whit founded folk&lore on this premise through studying and learning the ancient craft of beeswax candle making. The wax is sourced from a local beekeeper in Idaho, where the deep golden tone of the wax is a direct result of the region and plants from where the bees collected their pollen. Beeswax candles are often the most coveted because they are non-toxic, the flame is the brightest of all candles (it is in the same spectrum as sunlight) and burn longer and drip less than standard soy-based candles. In each hand dipped and poured candle you will find simplicity, sustainability, and artfulness, alongside Dani & Whit’s heartfelt passion for the art of beeswax candle making.
