Our Values
Just two husbands looking out for everyone by offering luxury scented candles at an affordable price with our 100% LGBTQ owned and operated candle company. High quality yet completely affordable. We offer handmade all-natural wax candles in various sizes within various vessels. We do not believe in all the retail mark-ups, expensive and wasteful packaging, so that the cost savings...go to you! Let us help you find your fragrance at a fraction of the cost,
because we truly believe in luxury for less.
We have been married for 12 years and currently live in the Albany Park Neighborhood of Chicago with our 5 dogs. Curtis Bumgarner is originally from North Carolina and Andrew Cookson is originally from Liverpool, England. They met in Chicago, IL back in 2013 when Andrew Cookson was in Chicago for a work conference, they spent the first 6 months of their relationship by dating on Skype and Whatsapp.
We started making candles back in 2019 as a hobby and something to do with friends and family and when the Pandemic hit it evolved into something more and it spilled over to our neighbors and then coworkers and their families and friends and then we made it a business. We secured the lease to our very first brick and mortar location in July 2022 at 3728 W Montrose Ave, Chicago, IL 60618 and had our official grand opening in September 2022. In February 2023 we secured the commercial space next door and made it our Yoga & Fitness Studio called IT'S LIT STUDIO and had our official grand opening for our 2nd business in March 2023.Come find candles and antiques in our space at The New Lincoln Antique Mall!
