Sliabh Candles is a small business that was established in 2023.

After finding it hard to find a gift ‘as Gaeilge’ on several occasions, I decided to start making candles with a bit of Irish on them.

The name Sliabh Candles is inspired by the beautiful view of the mountains that I see from our window when I’m pouring the candles. These mountains are covered in heather during the summer months, which influenced the logo design.

All of the candles are made with 100% natural soy wax and hand poured in small batches in the Connemara Gaeltacht. Each scented candle has an Irish phrase or proverb which makes them the perfect, unique Irish gift.

Bhunaigh mé an comhlacht beag Sliabh Candles sa bhliain 2023, tar éis dom a thabhairt faoi deara go raibh bearna sa mhargadh do bhronntanais as Gaeilge.

Is é an radharc álainn de na sléibhte a fheicim ó m’fhuinneog nuair a bhíonn mé ag déanamh na gcoinnle a spreag an t-ainm Sliabh Candles. Bíonn na sléibhte seo brataithe le fraoch i rith an tsamhraidh, agus sin é an fáth gur roghnaigh mé fraoch a chur sa lógó.

Tá na coinnle uile déanta as céir shoighe nádúrtha, agus lámhdhoirte i mbaisceanna beaga i nGaeltacht Chonamara. Tá nath cainte nó seanfhocal ar chuile choinneal cumhra, agus is bronntanais Ghaeilge álainn iad.
