The brand is still selling today, and its range now stretches well past the original candles.
A Modest Number for a Small Brand
Cockton wanted £50,000 for 30 percent of the company, putting the business under £167,000, a modest figure that is usually an easier sell than an inflated one.
Touker Suleyman took the deal for the full amount. His retail career at Hawes & Curtis and Ghost sits outside candles specifically, but the underlying manufacturing and retail skills overlapped enough to make the pairing work.
Growing Past Just Candles
Big-name candle and fragrance companies have marketing budgets a small operation cannot hope to match, so an independent vegan label like this one really only survives by finding shoppers who specifically want that ethical stance and are happy to buy it direct.
Cockton's business, now going by Owen Drew England, has since added eau de parfum and a bath and body line to the original candles, plus a bricks-and-mortar shop in Birkenhead alongside the website.
Perfume Brings Buyers Back
Scent is a product people buy for themselves and as gifts again and again, so branching confidently from candles into perfume suggests shoppers rate the fragrances themselves, not just the vegan story wrapped around them.
You will not find any of it on Amazon. Candle and perfume labels frequently avoid the big marketplaces on purpose, keen to keep control over how the packaging and unboxing feel to a customer.
