WHAT IS SUMMIT CANDLE COLLECTIVE?
Summit Candle Collective is a Utah based candle company that I (Vinny) developed that leverages the experiences throughout my life and infuses that into a candle to transport you to that setting. Started out in a friends kitchen as a hobby and now have been working to perfect our wood wick candles ever since. Every candle we put into the world is derived from an experience that is sentimental to myself and evokes a positive vibe. The GPS coordinates on the labels represent the location where I found inspiration to recreate. All of our candles are made with coconut soy wax and are hand-poured in Utah.

why the name "summit candle collective"?
Initially, the name "summit candle collective" was inspired by the breathtaking views and landscapes of Intermountain West, which is where our candles are crafted.
However, the deeper meaning of the name reflects the journey we set forth on in life while chasing chasing our own individual summit. While each person's journey is unique, we all encounter our own ups and downs on the way to the top. I wanted these candles & the name to serve as a source of comfort and inspiration as you navigate your journey, symbolizing both how far you've come and the potential that lies ahead. Whether you're experiencing moments of highs or in the trenches, I want these candles to serve as a reminder of your resilience and the heights you can achieve in life.
what inspired the creation of "summit candle collective"?
The inspiration of creating this candle project derived from my love of wood wick candles which always curated a positive vibe for myself. However, the idea of tying it back to experiences came to me on a spontaneous 22+ hour, 1200+ mile road trip over 3 days with close friends just wanting to snowboard in late July in the eastern sierras. We listened to the song "Every Morning" by Sugar Ray on repeat, now every time I hear that song it takes me back to that trip. It led me to wanting to create that same feeling but with fragrances so that is what inspired this project.
