About Us

Welcome to Vele Bae Candles, where the art of candle-making meets passion, heritage, and advocacy. As a Hispanic woman-owned small business, we craft more than just candles; we create experiences that envelop the senses, soothe the mind, and honor the vibrant spirit of our culture. Our hand-poured creations are a symphony of sustainability and mindfulness, representing the harmonious melody of tradition and modernity.

Our Origin

Rooted in the richness of Hispanic heritage and fueled by the strength and tenacity of womanhood, Vela Bae was born from a vision (vision, empowerment, love, and acceptance)—to meld the enchanting tradition of candle-making with a heartfelt mission to advocate for mental health and mindfulness. Our journey is a dance of flames and fragrances, a celebration of diversity, and a commitment to nurturing both the planet and the soul. At the heart of Vela Bae is our dedication to mental well-being and mindfulness. We understand the transformative power of a gentle flame and a soothing scent in creating a sanctuary of serenity. Our candles serve as a beacon of light to provide a tranquil space for reflection and connection.

Eco-Friendly & Sustainable Elegance

Respect for Mother Earth guides every step of our candle-making process. We are steadfast in our commitment to sustainability, utilizing only eco-friendly and renewable resources. Our candles are a blend of nature’s finest ingredients—sustainable wax, lead-free wicks, and recyclable packaging—ensuring that each flicker is a tribute to the beauty and bounty of our planet.

Illuminate Your Journey

Discover the magic of Vela Bae and let the glow of our candles illuminate your journey towards mindfulness, wellness, and eco-conscious living. Embrace the warmth of our Hispanic heritage and join us in kindling the flames of empowerment, diversity, and unity. Welcome to Vela Bae—where every candle is a story waiting to be told, and every flicker is a step towards a brighter tomorrow.

The Future is Bright

Today, as we explore the launch of our Candle Bar—a sanctuary where people can explore their creative side while focusing on mental wealth—I look back at the journey that led me here. Every struggle, every late night, every drop of melted wax, was worth it. With the future expansion, we're not just selling candles; we're crafting experiences. We're offering an oasis in a chaotic world, a place to rejuvenate, reflect, and rediscover oneself. 

If my story and that of Vela Bae Candles proves anything, it's that light can emerge from the darkest of times. Through this venture, I hope to pass on the torch that was ignited by the strong women before me. I hope to inspire a new generation to chase their dreams, embrace their heritage, and prioritize their mental wealth—all while lighting the way for others.

Here's to every flickering flame that refused to go out. Here's to you, and here's to us.
