Old Whaling Co. Candles

A preppy Charleston, SC based bath + body products company (inspired by the sea!)

So many candles have price tags that just seem a tad outrageous, right? If you’re not already a loyal fan of Old Whaling Co., let me introduce you. Soy Candles are only $18, the fresh scents will light up your home, and the preppy striped boxes make beautiful gifts.

According to the helpful sales person at the downtown Charleston Market shop, Seaweed & Sea Salt is the most popular candle scent. And for good reason: it smells like coastal fresh laundry!

Old Whaling Co. is a bath & body company, inspired by the sea. You’ll find body butters, soaps, bath bombs, candles, and gift boxes. All have clean, fresh scents. The packaging is gorgeous, and the prices are affordable. What a cool South Carolina company!

Shop Old Whaling Co.

You can shop online or shop in person at their retail locations on King Street in Charleston – or the cool Charleston Market downtown.
