A Personal TouchJust outside of Winchester, Virginia there is a small building that is filled with scents from around the world. Inside, you'll find handmade shelves stacked with wicks, fragrances, and wax, waiting patiently for the creative and practiced touch of White Caterpillar's mad scientist Bill Simon. In the background, Jethro Tull on the radio provides the soundtrack to a flurry of art in action. There are few chandlers left today. And there are even fewer who have been able to build and maintain a successful business using old fashioned skill and a personal touch that keeps customers coming back.

Family Owned and OperatedBill, together with his wife Kate, started this journey into artisan candles when they purchased White Caterpillar a decade ago. They saw an opportunity to do things differently. Instead of mass produced, oil-based candles that were as harmful to people as they were to the environment, they wanted to create an experience and a product that was sustainable. They wanted to make candles that smelled good and that people could feel good about enjoying. Immediately, their wide variety of scents and the handcrafted quality of their candles set them apart; building a local and loyal following.

Old-Fashioned SkillEvery candle is poured, one at a time, the way it has been done for hundreds of years. Every brick is cut to order. Glow Bowl stands are made by hand and assembled in the shop. And every order is packed with care. There is no detail that escapes their careful eye. There are no robots or assembly lines. Each candle is slightly different, reflecting the uniqueness of a product made with care by a person. These little touches are what set White Caterpillar apart. They are the hallmark of craftsmanship and expertise, denoting each candle as a special experience made just for you.
