Our Story

 Qabiso is a luxury homeware brand specialising in scented candles inspired by the power of scent and its ability to transport you through time and place.

“As the founder of this brand, my love for unique home aesthetics, modern décor, body image and fragrance developed at an early age, always evoking childhood memories. The name Qabiso means “Value”. It is a Xhosa name, a language spoken in South Africa. The name Qabiso is also a shorter version of my mother’s name, who played a significant role in inspiring my love for homeware, body image and fragrance. Different scents have always given me a sense of comfort, relaxation and envelope me with positivity. A feeling that would take me to a different time that completes inner peace. Qabiso is a true manifestation of my love affair with luxury home aesthetics and all values embodied in body image and fragrance”. 

We deeply care about our environment and want to contribute in making a change. From our soy-based wax to our maple-wood sticks; we ensure that our homemade candles are made from natural ingredients. .

Wood wicks are an innovative alternative to traditional cotton wicks. Not only do wood wicks burn cleanly and disperse fragrance excellently, they also generate subtle crackle sounds, creating a captivating acoustic ambiance. The soothing crackling sounds of wood wicks bring a whole new sensory delight to our candles.
