Discover the story behind our exclusive outlet store's acquisition of this exquisite candle, accompanied by an important disclaimer that you MUST read before making a purchase. We kindly request that you only buy if you are already a proud owner of a Bonfire candle. Our limited stock deserves to be cherished by our valued community.

Read below for an in-depth review of the candle:

Set the mood with a bewitching deep red glass candle from The Vampire’s Wife, which has captured this most wonderful time of year in the scent, Bonfire. Like snuggling up next to a cosy fireplace, the Bonfire candle is the brainchild of Susie Cave; created in France by Cire Trudon, it intertwines Cave’s own personal associations of the onset of winter with a seductive fragrance.

In a nod to the best perfumes, the fragrance encompasses the warm range of aromas around a crackling bonfire, with top notes of smoky leather and cedar, middle notes of tobacco and resin, and base notes of exotic herbs in a heady mix.

The candle itself is formed from a black vegetable-based wax and is scented with essential oils; a pure cotton wick makes for easy lighting. The exterior, too, is carefully considered, and Cave worked with Tom Hingston of Hingston Studio on the elegantly gothic-inspired design.

The deep red of the glass is a bespoke colour created by Cave, while a custom-made black hat box makes this the perfect gift for rare luxury candle collectors.

Want this? You must agree to the below DISCLAIMER: 

This exclusive Trudon-manufactured candle from The Vampire's Wife was launched in November 2021 and each candle is brand new, never opened. They were sent to us in their original Trudon wholesale boxes of 6. The foil sticker may lift, but this is a normal occurrence and can easily be smoothed down or removed. No defects here.

It must be noted that since they were produced in November 2021 before the permanent closure of The Vampire's Wife, the scent may not be as potent as newly made Trudon candles. It is no secret that Novemer 2021 was when the candle launched as many magazine articles like Vogue covered it. We serve as both an outlet and a source for our luxury community to obtain these cherished candles that were entrusted to us by The Vampire's Wife. We are not skilled candlemakers and therefore cannot ensure the scent's strength. From customer's feedback, they are great when instructions are followed (only light for less than 4 hours at a time). Nevertheless, this is the last remaining stock in existence, so we hope you understand why we are being careful. Only purchase if this disclaimer aligns with your preferences.

Why does House Of Huntington have The Vampire's Wife Farewell pieces?

Regrettably, owing to the closure of The Vampire's Wife, a Farewell sale was held to provide customers with the opportunity to acquire their exclusive pieces. As a physical sale, not all were able to attend, thus, we were entrusted with their remaining stock. The Vampire's Wife has chosen our small, independent boutique as a worthy representative (Cat was already a fervent admirer of Susie Cave). Included in the stock is the exquisite Bonfire candle, crafted with Cire Trudon, available exclusively through our outlet.

About House of Huntington & The Founders

House Of Huntington, an independent luxury fashion outlet.

House of Huntington is a curated luxury fashion outlet founded by husband-and-wife team Catherine and Ethan Huntington.

We specialise in past-season designer fashion: beautiful pieces from luxury brands that still have so much life, style, and story left in them. What began as a love of sourcing special finds grew from an eBay store into an online destination for fashion lovers who believe great style does not expire.

For us, luxury fashion is an art form worth preserving. We love the thrill of a brilliant deal, but we also care deeply about keeping well-made pieces in circulation and helping our customers discover designer fashion in a smarter, more considered way.

We are a small, real team behind the business - sourcing, curating, and sharing pieces we genuinely believe in. House of Huntington is for people who love fashion beyond the latest season, who know the joy of finding the one, and who believe luxury should be lived in, loved, and enjoyed again.

About House of Huntington & The Founders

Catherine Huntington

I’m Catherine Huntington, co-founder of House of Huntington. My love of fashion began growing up in Singapore, where I would pore over magazine editorials, cut out the latest collections, and paste them into scrapbooks while dreaming of one day wearing those designer pieces myself.

I was always drawn to luxury fashion, but just as fascinated by the thrill of finding it in a smarter way. Wandering through Singapore’s gleaming malls, I noticed that even the most stylish shoppers loved discovering a deal - proof that taste and value have always belonged together.

That love eventually led me to fashion journalism, internships at Vogue and Vivienne Westwood, and reselling pre-loved luxury pieces while building a life in London. What started as a way to stay afloat became the beginning of House of Huntington: a place for people who love designer fashion beyond the latest season.

Outside of House of Huntington, you’ll usually find me travelling in search of beautiful places and brilliant food, romanticising life in a quaint English village, exploring fairytale towns in Yorkshire and the Cotswolds, or running our very unserious Disney adult burner account.

This business is my dream fashion job, made even better because I get to build it with my husband, my best friend, and the wonderful community of customers who have joined us for the ride.

About House of Huntington & The Founders

Ethan Huntington

Hi, I’m Ethan. My route into fashion started after I realised it was what I genuinely loved, so I made the decision to leave my engineering degree and study fashion design instead. While at university, I became fashion editor of our student magazine, which led to Cat and me attending some amazing fashion events and meeting people I really admired, including Christopher Bailey.

I later interned at Markus Lupfer and Aitor Throup at G-Star, where I saw first-hand how quickly fashion moves. Every season brought a new collection, and pieces from previous seasons were often pushed aside, even when they were still beautifully made and just as special.

That idea stayed with both of us. Cat and I have always loved luxury and good design, and it broke our hearts seeing past-season pieces lose their moment so quickly. We believed they still deserved to be presented in a way that felt current, considered, and just as luxurious as when they were first released.

That thinking is a big part of House of Huntington. I’ve always loved finding well-made, stylish pieces at great prices, whether it’s fashion, homeware, travel, or everyday life. Away from the business, I love travelling - Florida is my favourite holiday destination, although I also have a real love for South East Asia - and I’m a very enthusiastic home cook too.
