About Nine
Personal story time: Nine has always been my lucky number. It was my class number throughout high school, and a number that has brought me luck in various draws. When it came time to name my brand, I didn't hesitate—I knew it would be 'Nine.'
In Chinese culture, nine is the highest single-digit number, symbolising the full potential and completeness we strive to reach with our brand and products. As you browse our collections, you'll discover that we bring more than just scented candles; but we are also bringing a palette of colors and cultures to life through each candle. Each purchase is more than just a candle—it's a meaningful addition to your life!
About Candles
Our candle studio is based in Wenzhou, China, a city rich in cultural heritage and craftsmanship. Inspired by my sister, who launched her own successful candle business here, I have founded Nine UK to bring a piece of our hometown to the global stage. Having lived and studied in the UK, I've observed distinct differences in candle styles and usage between the East and the West, which have shaped my approach to candle-making. At Nine UK, we specialise in creating premium, scented candles that are simply just TOO CUTE TO LIGHT.
About me
Hello, my name is Michelle. I recently graduated from the University of Bath and am now ready to start a new journey. Just a few months ago, I was unsure about my path after university, but one thing was clear—I've always wanted to start my own business. One day, while sitting in my sister's candle studio in China, surrounded by all these beautiful and intricately designed candles, it struck me: why not start a candle brand in the UK?
The first step for Nine UK is to participate in trade markets across the country, which will provide a fantastic opportunity for me to connect with the community and expand the brand. Please follow us on Instagram as we continue to grow and flourish.
