Loch & Hearth is a tiny candle making enterprise nestled in the heart of the forested hills of Northern Michigan. When I say the enterprise is tiny, this is what I mean: One woman with two dogs at her feet, making candles in batches of two on her kitchen counter.
Inspiration came in the form of a daydream on a Sunday afternoon in Autumn of 2022. I was thinking about useful gifts for people I love. Gifts that would not only enrich a living space, but would evoke warmth and comfort. Candles were such an obvious answer, and the wheels began turning. As someone who has taken a lifelong passion for art and storytelling and turned it into a career, nostalgia, whimsy, ambience, and creativity are consistently at the heart of everything I do. Writing and portraiture are powerful tools to convey stories and emotion, but fragrance can evoke in its own unique and poignant way.
Loch & Hearth is my glad attempt to share warmth, whimsy, and wanderlust with the world around me. The fragrances I create come from my fondest memories and favorite adventures, and it is my hope that they fill your home with a wonderful, one-of-a-kind ambience.
With Gratitude,
Chloe Leach
