Inspired By Nature

Vance Kitira International is a wholesale distributor of handcrafted candles and home accessories. Founded in 1993 by a forester – Vance Kitira -, the company is driven by his inspiration for more than 20 years.

Drawing inspiration and spiritual growth from his native Thailand and energy with a sense of endless possibilities from his adopted country, the United States, Vance has created nature-inspired and nurtured products. He is always fascinated by the simplicity of Nature. His desire to capture that beauty is evidenced through his designs.

Patented Design

Each candle is elegantly wrapped with a natural palm strip, accented by a bamboo skin string tied with our signature knot, securing the hand-stamped hangtag.

Timber® Candles, renowned as the original hand-poured, distress-textured candles, emit a warm, inviting glow and are celebrated for their exceptionally long burn times. Crafted from fully refined, food-grade paraffin wax that has undergone hydro treatment to remove impurities, these candles are water-clear, odorless, and smokeless when lit. We use only 100% U.S.-sourced cotton wicks and premium dyes from Germany to ensure a clean and beautiful burn.

Our Timber® Candles have been rigorously tested by the independent SGS Laboratory in France, and we're proud to confirm that they meet the highest standards for clean burning.

Angel Wings

Vance Kitira Timber Candles are expertly designed to provide a drip-free and cave-free burn. As they melt, these premium, hand-poured candles form what Vance affectionately calls "angel wings", creating a unique and elegant wax pattern. Perfect for any occasion, these high-quality, long-lasting candles are a must-have for your home decor.
