Our Story

At Ethel & Sabel, we believe that every home should tell a story—one filled with warmth, intention, and timeless beauty. Our shop is a carefully curated collection of hand-poured candles, vintage-inspired home goods, and treasures from the past, designed to bring a sense of history and craftsmanship into modern living.

Hilde Hauc Candles: Crafted with Care, Inspired by Legacy

Named after my great-grandmother, Hilde Hauc Candles embodies resilience, artistry, and quality. Hilde was widowed in the 1920s and navigated the Great Depression while raising her boys alone. Her strength and determination inspired me to build something meaningful—candles crafted with the same dedication and care that she carried through life.

Each Hilde Hauc Candle is:
✔️ Hand-poured in small batches to ensure the highest quality.
✔️ Made with 100% soy wax & clean fragrances, free from toxins and phthalates.
✔️ Designed for a long, even burn with an exceptional hot and cold throw.

From the flicker of a single flame to the scent that fills a room, our candles are meant to create moments—ones that feel nostalgic, comforting, and beautifully lived in.

Ethel & Sabel: Home of Hilde Hauc Candles

Beyond candles, Ethel & Sabel is a destination for vintage-inspired, timeless gifts and carefully selected home decor. Our shelves are filled with pieces that blend old-world charm with modern sensibility—treasures that feel both familiar and special.
