With a passion for fragrances and a creative spark, the 23 year old Lesego Pitso from Rustenburg founded KandlesbyLP, a candle business that combines artistry, wellness, and personal style. Inspired by the therapeutic effects of scents and the joy of experimentation, Lesego set out to create unique, bespoke candles that cater to clients’ individual preferences.
Through rigorous research and hands-on learning, she developed a range of high-quality, locally sourced candles that fill a gap in both the general and high-end markets. Each candle is carefully crafted to evoke a specific mood or atmosphere, making them more than just a lighting source – but a symbol of personal expression.
From the best-selling “Lydia Vetiver” scent, named after Lesego’s grandmother, to seasonal collections and collaborations, KandlesbyLP continuously innovates and pushes boundaries. By embracing competition and prioritizing sustainability, Lesego ensures that every candle not only delights the senses but also supports local communities and reduces environmental impact.
As KandlesbyLP evolves, Lesego envisions strategic partnerships, expanded product lines, and a continent-wide presence in luxury hotels and boutiques. With patience, dedication, and a commitment to excellence, KandlesbyLP is poised to illuminate the world, one candle at a time.
