Experience a Scented Haven: Olivia's Luxury Candle Brand Opens New Shop in Coleraine

Olivia's Haven | Hand Poured Soy Candles & Home Fragrances is proud to announce the opening of their new shop in Stone Row, Coleraine.

This is the first permanent retail premises for the luxury home fragrance business, which started online via Instagram in 2020. Olivia's Haven is already stocked in Brown Thomas and Arnotts, and their shop in Coleraine is a fantastic addition to their growing business.

When you visit the Olivia's Haven shop, you can browse their locally made soy candles, wax melts, diffusers, and gifts. Plus, every week there will be exclusive scents available in-store that you won't find on their website. So, it's worth stopping by for a smell and picking up something unique.

Founder Olivia Burns was born and raised in Coleraine and draws inspiration for her scents, stories, and brand aesthetic from her personal memories. Olivia has worked in branding for almost 10 years, helping global companies and smaller startups with their marketing strategies and branding. But she always had a desire to create her brand from start to finish, and Olivia's Haven was the result.

Olivia's love for candles started long before she created her own brand. In January 2019, she began experimenting with wax and fragrance oils, trying to create the ultimate range of scented candles inspired by her own scent memories. But she wasn't satisfied with just creating fantastic products; Olivia wanted her candles to look just as amazing as they smelled. So, she worked with an illustrator for almost a year to create fun and vibrant packaging that tells a story.

Despite launching Olivia's Haven just as the Covid-19 pandemic took hold and the world locked down, Olivia has worked tirelessly to build the business one candle at a time. Her hard work has paid off, and Olivia's Haven has amassed an online following of more than 20,000 within 18 months of launching. The luxury brand has also been featured in Forbes, Stylist, Good Housekeeping, The Irish Times, and more.

Now based at a much larger 5,000 sq ft workshop on the North Coast with a wonderful team of eight staff members (and growing), Olivia's Haven can scale production while still carefully hand pouring, packaging, and sending out products with love to a loyal tribe of customers.

Initially, Olivia's Haven included a bespoke collection of six signature soy candles, but the range has since expanded to include reed diffusers, wax melts, and more. With more than thirteen exclusive fragrances, Olivia's Haven can be found in homes around the world.

“There is nothing quite like seeing you all create new memories with these special scents. They once were my memories, but now they can become yours! Thanks for being part of the journey,” says Olivia.

If you're looking for high-quality soy candles, wax melts, and diffusers that look as fantastic as they smell, make sure to visit Olivia's Haven in Coleraine. With their unique scents, exclusive in-store products, and commitment to quality, you won't be disappointed.
