Dare to venture into the untamed heart of the wild west

Founded in the picturesque town of Aspen, Colorado, LUME is an eco-friendly, all-natural candle company that draws inspiration from the majestic beauty of the Wild West. Nestled among rugged mountains, whispering aspen groves, and high alpine lakes, our company embodies the spirit of this breathtaking landscape.

Our journey began with a sincere appreciation for the natural world and a desire to bring a piece of it into every home. The rugged mountains of Aspen with their towering peaks and snow-capped vistas inspire our winter scents, evoking the crisp, invigorating air of a fresh snowfall. In contrast, our summer collection captures the warmth and vitality of the high sun.

Each candle is handcrafted with sustainably sourced, all-natural ingredients. Our soy wax is derived from renewable resources and we infuse our candles with all natural fragrance oils – ensuring a clean and long-lasting burn.

We aim to capture the essence of each season and to offer you a clean and non-toxic escape to nature's untamed beauty.

FOUNDER

ERICA COLLINS

Erica made her way out to Aspen, Colorado in 2018 after taking a 6 year pit stop in Washington, D.C.

Looking for a drastic lifestyle change, she settled into the mountains with her pup, Koa and has been in awe with the surrounding beauty ever since.

When Erica isn’t making candles you can find her outside biking or skiing, teaching classes at Cyclebar, and spending time with her brothers.

CHIEF FRAGRANCE OFFICER (CFO)

NAKOA

As CFO, Koa has a very important job and responsibility here at LUME.

Gifted with a heightened sense of smell we thought Koa would be the man for the job. Koa is a master of fragrance, a true chief of smells, and the snout behind all of your favorite scents.

Whether he’s sniffing for new fragrance inspiration in the great outdoors, or extracting oils in the kitchen while wearing his “lab coat”, Koa is dedicated, loyal and the goodest of all boys.
