Our Story

Our Story

Canterbury Country was born from a love of simple living, traditional craftsmanship, and the natural beauty of rural Canterbury.

Based in the small country town of Oxford, New Zealand, we handcraft every candle and soap in small batches, allowing us to focus on quality, consistency, and attention to detail. Our products are inspired by slower living — creating moments of calm, warmth, and comfort in busy everyday life.

We believe that everyday essentials should feel special. That’s why we carefully select our ingredients, blend our fragrances, and hand pour each product with care. From our signature soy candles poured into custom concrete vessels to our nourishing handcrafted soaps, every item reflects our commitment to craftsmanship, sustainability, and timeless design.

Canterbury Country is more than just products — it’s about embracing a slower pace, enjoying the little moments, and surrounding yourself with things that bring comfort and joy.
