Repurposing guide: candle to tumbler

Each ELLESSÈNE candle vessel is thoughtfully designed to live beyond its first purpose. Once the flame fades, it becomes a refined tumbler—an object of lasting utility, crafted to bring elegance to your moments, time and again. This transformation speaks to our philosophy of sustainable luxury, allowing you to carry a piece of ELLESSÈNE into your everyday rituals.

Repurposing your candle vessel into a whiskey or cocktail glass is a ritual of transformation. Begin by placing the finished candle in the freezer for a few hours, allowing any remaining wax to freeze. When it’s solid, the wax pops out easily, leaving a smooth interior. A gentle scrape with a butter knife removes any lingering residue, ensuring a pristine base. Peel off the label, and with a swipe of rubbing alcohol, clear away any remaining adhesive to reveal the glass in its purest form.

As a final step, give the glass a thorough wash, preparing it for its new life. Dishwasher-safe and designed for daily use, the tumbler becomes a permanent fixture—a piece that brings sophistication to your evenings, as well as a reminder of Elle’s world with every pour. Made for those who appreciate rarity, elegance, and sustainability intertwined, this is a piece that invites you to savor not only the drink within but the journey of an object designed to last.
