About Ashton Clare

Ashton Clare was born out of two years of lockdown in Melbourne, countless YouTube videos and a newfound obsession with making candles.

What started as candles made for my own home soon became gifts for friends and family and eventually an online store.

Since then, Ashton Clare has grown beyond candles into clothing and designs inspired by the things that make everyday life a little brighter.

Our mission (it’s just the cat and me, really) is pretty simple: to bring a little bit of happy to your day.

That might be finding a T-shirt that feels very you, pulling on your favourite sweatshirt, choosing a special gift for someone special or lighting a candle at the end of a long day.

Our candles are still handmade by me in small batches in Melbourne using natural coconut soy wax while our clothing gives me another way to create things that I hope make you smile.

Naturally, overseeing the whole operation is Charlotte, my rescue cat, who takes her role in quality control very seriously.

So, from Charlotte and me, welcome to Ashton Clare. I hope you find something here that brightens your day.

Thank you for supporting our little business.

Nika and Charlotte
