One of the reasons that I'm so drawn to Matt Chambers & Confederate Motorcycles is character . . . Character that is such an inexhaustible "source" that it divides and multiplies and pours out of everything they do. The Confederate Principles inspired me to think about my own.
Southern Lit Candles will:
Commit to analyze each expense through a philanthropically sensitive lens.
Honor time. The breadth of it, not the brevity.
Explore southern culture with a pledge to source the finest, regionally local, characteristically admirable producers and distributors.
Champion an Heirloom Movement: preservation as a function of the philosophically driven practice of curating.
Ritualize the the physical creation process in a way that speaks to the artisan as a spiritual being.
Honor the individual, in everything, unconditionally.
Refuse to compromise: devotion, formula, focus.
Document and articulate the journey using scent as vehicle of memoir.
Advocate historical reverence through observation of vintage values.
Hold all processes, practices, platforms and spaces to a standard of style that aligns with these principles.
Inspiration is sacred. “Tu me manques.”
Light A Candle.
Buy A Candle, Light A Candle.
When you purchase a candle from Southern Lit Atelier, a financial contribution to match our investment in that candle will be made to the Light A Candle Campaign.
"She would rather light a candle than curse the darkness
and her glow has warmed the world."
Adlai Stevenson, Eulogy of Eleanor Roosevelt, November 7, 1962
