More about Siren Store

Hi, we’re Hol and Han, the faces behind Siren.

We’re two best friends from Australia who moved to the UK a few years ago. When we first got here, we found ourselves desperate for a creative outlet outside of our day jobs. One day we made a list of everything we loved and were passionate about - sustainability, feminism and body positivity, and the rest is history!

Based in our cosy little studio in East London, we specialise in sculptural vegan candles and are best known for our range of inclusive body candles with lumps, bumps and everything in between.

We aim to be a celebration of everybody and every body.

Named after our favourite Goddesses, the ‘Circe’, ‘Flora’ and ‘Hecate’ body candles are exclusive to us, and represent some of the most powerful archetypal women in mythology. Alongside our iconic body candles, we also offer a range of aesthetic sculptural candles in a variety of shapes, sizes and colours. Some are inspired by our love of history, and others have been created to combat wastage - the Marble Pillar Candle is made entirely from repurposed materials and leftover wax!

On top of candles, we also offer our illustrated femme and meme-inspired greeting cards.

As sustainability is at the centre of everything we do, all of our materials, products and packaging are plastic-free, vegan, and either recyclable or bio-degradable.

We can’t wait to create other ethical wares as Siren continues to grow, and in the coming months we plan to introduce some illustrated apparel to our range. We have big plans to expand our collections throughout 2021 and beyond!
