THE BEGINNING

THE NAME On a trip back from Langebaan, listening to Ben Howard – Erik and Michelle decided on the name okracandle. Due to the vegetables unique and distinctive attributes, in both name and form. Each hand-crafted candle embodies a feeling of sophistication and grandeur – adding an exclusive element of design to your home or event.
