Cutch Company was founded in June 2020, during the height of the pandemic, when person-to-person contact had been absent for months. Families, friends and lovers were separated, and the simple, heartening comfort of a consoling hug—the kind that makes everything feel alright—disappeared overnight.
The name Cutch comes from the Welsh word “cwtch”, meaning a special hug or embrace. As a part-Welsh team, this word felt deeply meaningful to us and perfectly represented what we wanted to offer our customers: warmth, comfort and connection.
We are a two-woman team, and we do everything ourselves—from making and packaging our products to marketing the brand and attending events. Every part of Cutch is handled with care, intention and a lot of love.
Our Workshop
We built our workshop, business plan, and brand by hand, drawing directly from our own experiences. It’s a space designed to thoughtfully curate our fragrances and handcraft every product we make. Our backgrounds in operations, marketing, education, and finance have guided us along the way, but our greatest joy comes from creating custom-blended scented candles and home fragrance products from scratch. Each candle is hand-poured in small batches, with close attention to quality and design, ensuring every piece meets the high standard we set for ourselves—and for our customers.
Essential Oils and Unique Fragrances
During lockdown, we began experimenting with essential oils and fragrances to create candles and home scents that engage the senses and transport you to a place that feels familiar and grounding.
Today, we continue to develop nuanced scent combinations that spark memory and emotion, alongside timeless favourites. For us, it’s always about how fragrance makes you feel—layering in elements that support wellbeing and calm as each candle burns.
Our soy wax candles and melts are made using essential oils and natural fragrances to create beautiful atmosphere at home, with subtle aromatherapy benefits that can enhance mood and promote a sense of wellbeing.
Sustainable Soy Wax and Cotton Wicks
Our candles and melts are made exclusively with natural, plant-based soy wax—a cleaner, toxin-free alternative to paraffin and mineral waxes. Sourced from renewable materials, soy wax supports our commitment to sustainability while delivering a beautifully clean burn.
Each candle is hand-made using cotton wicks and packaged in FSC-certified boxes and recyclable materials. Our melts are hand poured and finished using dried botanicals.
