Our why

We do what we do, because the product Connor wanted wasn’t available when we went hunting for it. With that said, my little guy believed he was capable of crafting his own candles using masculine themed fragrances rather than making do with "regular's" one's. 

There is a kind of satisfaction that comes from creating something with your own hands. Candle craft, became a practical means for our Little Big Man to continue learning while at home recovering from his head injury so he didn't fall behind at school.

Since returning to school, the craft continues to provide epic learning opportunities. He continues daily to aquire the skills required to manage and grow his hobby and perhaps one day, he'll forge his own career path. Candles have opened a door into an entirely different world, a very grown up world. He is focused and his accomplishments so far have encouraged and strengthened his self-esteem and lifted his confidence. He has met many amazing people from the local business community who are now his peers, brilliant coaches and mentors that continue to guide him. Throughout this artisan journey, Connor has been such an inspiration and I'm incredibly proud of him. He's experienced lots of great first's, and broken many glass ceilings.

Connor's grandfather whom works with leather as a hobby has helped to instill a belief in our little big man that motivates and inspires him to want to be the very best.

The biggest bonus for Connor personally is that he gets to save up and purchase his own bike parts, or bits and pieces for his skate boards or scooters. Excellent!

 

The dream

Little Big Man aspires to be a heritage brand that delivers premium products that are exquisitely fragranced, renewable and gentle on the environment, while nurturing the ambition, drive and creativity of a young man that wants to make a difference.

 

Breaking the mould

Little Big Man was founded on the belief that every person, big or small, is brilliant & capable of doing amazing things.

Launched with the same child-like wonder & enthusiasm in which we approach most things, we set out on this adventure with a clear set of objectives; the primary one being, to fill the man candle void in our area.
