Our Story

It started with one stubborn candle that wouldn't burn evenly.

In 2018, Carol Dolinsky was hunting for a clean-burning candle for her reading chair and kept ending up with sooty jars and that familiar chemical headache. After a rainy weekend of pouring trial batches in her kitchen, the first Kashmira Design candle was born — named for her grandmother's garden in Srinagar, where the air always smelled faintly of saffron and roses.

Six years later we still pour every candle by hand from our converted garage studio in Cypress, Texas. Same recipe. Same patience.

From Our Customers

Real notes from real living rooms.

I bought the Cedarwood & Saffron for my mom for Mother's Day and now she texts me every time she lights it. The throw is unreal — fills her whole sunroom.

Anna R. · The Heights, Houston

We ordered 80 favors for our wedding in Tomball. Carol hand-tied each tag with the date. Guests are still talking about them.

Megan & Tyler · Tomball, TX

Honestly the only candle I've ever had that doesn't trigger my migraines. Clean burn, no headache, smells like Sunday morning. I'm a customer for life.
