About Us
Hi! We're Krisann and Jana -
the mother/daughter duo behind Papilane House! We founded the company in 2020 after finding out how toxic some candles could be to us, our family and even our pets! We've been crafting clean, 100% soy candles ever since and have expanded into other home good as well over the years. We love bringing a little light & joy into your home!
Behind our name...
Papilane is a combination of the French word for butterfly, “papillon” and our shared middle name, Elaine. We love to create beautiful products that become small, everyday joys in your house that make it really feel like home.
The house on our logo...
The tiny gold house on our candles was originally a chicken coop!
We converted that old coop into our very first candle pouring studio a few years back. We’ve since outgrown it, but it’ll always be a special place to us! The iron butterflies have been on the house for fifteen years and they remind us to keep our thoughts on the higher things in life. You might notice the cat in front of the house, our old friend Barney who keeps us company while we work.
