Lesego Pitso, a 23-year-old entrepreneur from Rustenburg, has launched Kandles by LP, a bespoke candle company that blends artistry, wellness, and personalised fragrance.
Kandles by LP is a Rustenburg-based candle company founded by Lesego Pitso. The company specialises in creating bespoke, high-quality candles using locally sourced ingredients.
Driven by a passion for scent and a desire to create unique, high-quality products, Lesego is filling a gap in both the mainstream and luxury candle markets.
The candles are crafted using locally sourced ingredients, reflecting Pitso’s commitment to sustainability and supporting local communities. Each candle is designed to evoke a specific mood or ambiance, transforming them from simple light sources into expressions of personal style.
The company’s signature scent, “Lydia Vetiver,” is a tribute to Pitso’s grandmother and has quickly become a customer favourite.
The brand also offers seasonal collections and collaborates with other local artisans, constantly innovating and expanding its offerings.
“I believe that scent has the power to transform our environment and elevate our well-being,” said Lesego.
“With Kandles by LP, I want to create candles that not only smell beautiful but also tell a story and connect with people on a personal level,” she added.
Looking ahead, she envisions expanding the brand’s reach through strategic partnerships with luxury hotels and boutiques across the continent. She is also exploring new product lines and is committed to maintaining the company’s focus on quality, sustainability, and community impact.
