About Little Africa; our unique fair trade candles

Discover our Fair Trade African animal candles.

Little Africa's fair trade candles are unique in many ways. Our products are all fairtrade and of animals, extremely well designed and handcrafted to produce a truly amazing candle.

When lit the centre of the candle burns leaving the patterned outer shell intact so the flame creates a soft colourful glow, emitting different colours depending on the patterns chosen. When the candle has burnt all the way down you are left with a void where you can place a tea light, resulting in a candle holder for life. Small candles do not burn in this fashion, only medium and large candles leave a void for re-use.

These are not just candles, they are works of art, a fusion of candle and ornament. They are particularly ornamental in their design and whether lit as a centrepiece on a table, in the garden in the summer time or just standing on the mantlepiece they never go unnoticed.

All our candles are new to the UK and really have to be seen to be appreciated. The African craftmen have perfected the art of candle making to produce the highest quality product.

To view some of the candles being made please see our video clips.

The candles are imported from Africa where they are handmade in compliance with current fair trade regulations.
