A design company
At LaVela, we inspire creativity and cultivate moments of self-indulgence, elevating everyday experiences through functional design and fragrance you can feel good about. We hold a commitment to make everything by hand, in small batches, and with the utmost attention to detail. Using only the finest ingredients and premium materials that are not only better for you, but for the planet, too.
How it started
I needed a hobby. What began as a way to quell my anxiety and cope with depression, pouring candles quickly became something more–a way to share some much needed comfort with others.
Making it official
Soon, friends and family were filling their own homes with our experimental batches, testing and giving feedback on new scents and ingredients. And, with a little push from some special people, by 2022, LaVela Design Company was established, with roots in Savannah, Georgia.
It's all in a name
Named for the craft that started it all, and paying homage to my Puerto Rican and Spanish ancestry, LaVela is a home fragrance and design brand committed to crafting experiences that elevate everyday moments.
The LaVela Difference
