- Their Story
My name is Karla founder and creator here at Lolitas. Lolita’s was born from my love for ‘Making and Creating’. I always had a big passion for Art & Design.
Back when I finished high school my parents didn’t approved of my ‘Interior Design’ carreer choice, so I went for Media & Communications instead, until, for different life circumstances at 18 I moved to Canada on my own from Lima,Peru where I was born.
I Lived in Lake Louise for a little while and shortly after moved to cool-diverse Toronto, followed by historic-fun Montreal.
I made lovely Vancouver my forever home 8 years ago and after enjoying the travelling and diversity that all these cities had to offer me all these years, I decided I was headed on becoming a corporate zombie and I needed an outlet for myself ,’let my wild ideas come to life.
After and introspective long trip around Europe I was dazzled and inspired by the beautiful historic sights and their cultural lively but classy sense of aesthetics.
We were always burning candles at home and realized how toxic they were to humans and animals. I spent months testing the most sustainable wax, wicks, ingredients and packaging. I spent long sleepless nights designing in my head how I would like my candles to look like and how they might inspire.
Lolitas mixes the energy of art, fun design and delicious fragrance. Candle making is really an art that produce works that are meant to be experienced.
