Kombuis Kriek was born in my kitchen and inspired by my childhood nickname, “Kriek,” given to me by my dad, a name filled with memories. My name is Carien, and every candle and wax creation is hand-poured in small batches from my cozy studio in Johannesburg. Inspired by nostalgic scents, natural elements, and whimsical treats, each piece is crafted with love, creativity, and care. From quiet evenings and thoughtful gifts to everyday self-care, my creations are designed to bring warmth, beauty, and meaning into your space. Thank you for supporting a dream that’s handmade with love. I hope you find something that makes your home feel even more special.
