Our Story

Handmade, by hand, with intention.

Vicinity began with Annie Inacker pouring scented candles by hand — first for friends and family, then for a growing community who wanted more than she could make. The names came from the Chicago neighborhoods we love, each candle a small tribute to a place that shaped us.

Today we’re a woman-owned studio that still pours every candle by hand. Those same roots travel: whether you’re across the city or across the country, we bring that care to the custom candles we make for your wedding, your event, your milestone, or your brand.
