Not only is Rumbie Shearer a foodie who likes to “make mealtimes special, whatever the occasion” but she’s also the founder of virtual event series UK Supper Clubs.

So, when it comes to creating atmosphere and occasion at the dinner table, it makes sense that she would be the perfect person to start up yet another venture, this time in beautiful dinner candles.

Kenduru means candle in Rumbie’s native Zimbabwean language, Shona, and she’s inspired by Africa, travel and nature to create thoughtful designs.

While her candles started off as gifts for friends, she has now launched a small collection online which includes springtime flowers like tulips and, our favourite, personalised messages.
