Italian designer brand Bottega Veneta is well known for its luxurious leather bags and sumptuous clothing, adored by customers around the world. Now the brand has released a new line of scented candles drawing attention to the design principles of the house and the history of artisinal craft.

The volcano-glazed pots, much like paint tins dripping with colour, are a nod to the house’s Venetian origins and have been handmade in Italy. Each candle combines three essential ingredients to create a distinct and evocative scent.

The lush green glaze is the Raintree candle, which blends mellow fig, aromatic thyme, and lavender. The bold yellow jar glaze, Lantern, combines incense, suede rose, and vetiver. And the vivid red jar glaze, Edstone, blends plum nectar, tobacco, and cedarwood.

The candle jar is designed to be repurposed as a storage pot, vase, or display item once the candle is burned.
