The Luminary and Co. began as a spark of creativity and a bold gamble. Founded by a comedian turned candle-maker with only two cents to his name, she had a deep desire to give gifts a meaningful and personal touch.

In 2015, after unexpectedly losing his job, the founder began making custom prayer-candles for friends and soon realized that what started as a humble passion project had real potential.

Since those early days, funded by plasma donation and a friend’s small loan, The Luminary and Co. has grown into a full-fledged wholesale brand. Based in New Orleans, LA, and now operating from a dedicated studio, we’ve expanded our reach into retail shops across the country.

With Original artwork and iconography in unique design-driven candles, our signature collection, the Devotional, as well as our bold and contemporary collections, the Luminary and the Chelsea Merrill, is a treat to the sore eyes.

For retailers seeking products that merge individuality, creativity, and broad appeal, The Luminary and Co. delivers with hundreds of designs, flexible wholesale options, and a brand story that resonates.

The Luminary and Co., ignite light, inspire connection, and sell with soul!
