If you have any paper to get rid of, we will trade it for some of our beautiful candles 🕯️♻️ Why? Because at Kapula, we always choose the eco-friendly route, so we use shredded paper to nest and protect every candle in our boxes 💛

We were so proud to see our Creative Director, Anke Nesbitt, take the stage as guest speaker at the SACBW Overberg Sisterhood Network Event in Bredasdorp this month 🧡
ㅤ
Anke shared the Kapula story – from her mom Ilse painting candles in their family kitchen in 1993, to moonbags full of market takings in Hermanus, to supplying retailers (and even UNICEF) around the world. Thirty years of colour, craft and the incredible people who built this business with us.
ㅤ
Thank you to the .official Overberg Sisterhood for having us. It was a privilege to share our story with a room full of women in business.

En soos ons hier sê: ons kap aan 🕯️
