NY-based Guyanese lig
A young Guyanese with a drive to succeed in the US is putting her skills at work in bringing a ‘breath of fresh scents’ to homes in New York (NY) with her creation of soy-based candles.
Nikita Sagar introduced the brand; Kandles by Kita after making candles for the first time in August 2017 “just for fun” and realized how good she was at it.
The fun soon grew into a passion and she could not stop making candles after that.
The spark all happened when she took a candle to work and asked her coworkers if she could light it at her desk. They agreed and were captivated with the coconut lime scent that filled the air.
When they learnt she had made it they were impressed. They encouraged her to start producing more to sell. But with her full time job, she was not sure how that would work out.
She nevertheless took the challenge and after that there was no turning back.
Kandles by Kita is growing and she also ships to customers around and outside of the US.
She produces the candles in over 20 fragrances, such as toasted pumpkin spice and apple harvest that are a part of the fall season collection, as well as black raspberry vanilla, honeysuckle jasmin, peach nectar and day at the spa, which create a soothing and relaxing atmosphere.
They are available in glass jars and tin containers in different sizes, complete with attractive labels.
Sagar is also an artist and had done a few wall paintings, which she gave away. Although she loves to paint she realized that it was not something she wanted to continue doing because “I have to be in the mood for painting.”
The young entrepreneur who migrated to the US over 10 years ago, was always outgoing and had been involved in modeling for fashion designers in NY. She loved fashion so much that she even started sketching designs and compiling them in a portfolio. But her dreams of becoming a designer never we petitive the fashio
