About Maison Luna | Handcrafted Candles & Our Story
Our Story:
The name Maison Luna evokes images of moonlit nights and celestial wonder, but its story begins in the heart of Vietnam. As a child, I was captivated by the magic of Tết Trung Thu, the Mid-Autumn Festival, a time when families gather under the full moon's glow. Imagine bustling streets bathed in the light of countless lanterns – shaped like carp leaping dragon gates, mythical creatures, and radiant moons – carried by joyful children. These lanterns, far more than mere decorations, are symbols of prosperity, abundance, and the harmonious connection between heaven and earth. The air is filled with the joyful sounds of lion dances and drum beats, celebrating the harvest and the blessings of the moon.
Based in Northern Virginia, Maison Luna is a bridge between East and West, honoring this vibrant heritage. During Tết Trung Thu, candles and lanterns guide the legendary Moon Lady, Chị Hằng, as she descends to Earth, bringing blessings of joy, especially to children. Our handcrafted candles are more than just light; they are vessels of cultural memory, echoing those moonlit nights and the enduring power of Vietnamese tradition.
Our Mission:
- Craftsmanship & Quality: Each candle is meticulously hand-poured in small batches in Northern Virginia, using only the finest natural soy wax, premium fragrance oils (free of phthalates and parabens), and lead-free cotton wicks.
- Sustainable Practices: We strive to minimize our environmental impact through mindful sourcing and eco-friendly packaging.
- Community & Connection: We believe in the power of shared moments and strive to create products that bring people together.
- Honoring Heritage: We draw inspiration from the rich traditions of Vietnamese culture, infusing our creations with a sense of warmth, beauty, and intention.
My mission is to create exceptional candles that everyone can enjoy. Candles that bring warmth, light, and a touch of magic to your everyday life.
