A Rather Splendid Sculpture You Can Actually Light
Right, so here's the thing. We've taken Michelangelo's most famous marble companion and turned it into a candle. Not to be precious about it, but the David has rather transcended its Renaissance beginnings to become a symbol of strength, beauty, and people getting quite excited about classical art. Our version captures that same gravitas, except yours won't require a museum visit or a ticket.
Why Choose Our David Lips Candle
Hand Poured in London: Each candle is made by actual humans in our London studio, not by machines that probably deserve better things to do.
Pure Soy Wax and Fragrance Oils: We use only soy wax and premium fragrance oils, because we're rather particular about what we're pouring into a candle that's going to sit in your home.
Beautifully Sculpted Details: Some colour variations occur because we want your candle to look like the stone masterpiece it's inspired by. These aren't imperfections, they're character.
Subtle Scent Throughout: The fragrance is present even before you light it, gently doing its thing in the background like a perfectly mannered guest.
Custom Orders Available: Rather fancy your David in a different colour? We can make that happen. Simply get in touch and describe your vision.
Product Details
Large Candle: 340 grams, 7.5 cm height, 12 cm length, 6.8 cm width
Small Candle: 105 grams, 5 cm height, 8 cm length, 4 cm width
Burn Time: Approximately 1.2 hours for the large candle
Care: Always place on a dish or tray when burning. We're terribly keen on your home remaining intact.
Each David Lips candle is a marvellously made piece that brings a touch of artistic flair to any room. Rather good for gifts, even better for yourself.
SHIPPING + RETURNS
THE RATHER IMPORTANT BITS
This rather lovely piece ships directly from our brand partner - we work with independent brands who are absolutely brilliant and work frightfully hard to create beautiful things.
SHIPPING DESTINATIONS
Now, here's the thing - our wonderful brand partners ship to lots of different places, but not all of them can ship worldwide.
Some are brilliant at international shipping, others prefer to keep things closer to home.
At checkout, you'll see exactly where this particular brand can send your goodies.
We're terribly sorry, but shipping costs do vary rather wildly depending on where you are in the world. The exact figures pop up at checkout - no nasty surprises!
RETURNS
You have 14 days to return items.
Now, we absolutely adore our brand partners - they work incredibly hard and we do try to support them as much as we possibly can. So I'm rather afraid we have to pass the return postage costs back to you. Frightfully sorry about that!
🌍 PLEASE CHOOSE THOUGHTFULLY:
Our wonderful partners put their hearts into everything they make.
Ordering multiple sizes to try at home is rather hard on our planet and makes things jolly difficult for these brilliant independent creators.
When in doubt, do ask us first!
PAYMENT
We're frightfully modern and accept all the usual suspects:
Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay
SECURE AS HOUSES
Everything's properly encrypted and secure - your details are safer than the Crown Jewels!

We Have Lots More Like This.........
Hello, we are Sostter....
Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?
We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect. Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience.
Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently. Explore our British makers, discover sustainable brands, browse women-led businesses, find the perfect gift for her, or simply wander through our new arrivals and see what finds you.
This is just the beginning. But enough about us — read all about us, or step inside and see what catches your imagination.
A Curated Marketplace for Independent Ethical Brands
Discover our world of independent brands, conscious design, and purposeful creativity — all in one place.
Sostter is more than a marketplace. We're here to inspire a more thoughtful way to shop — one that celebrates the makers, the dreamers, and the independent brands doing things properly. Every brand on Sostter has been individually vetted for its originality, quality, and values. From sustainable fashion and ethical homeware to handmade jewellery and design-led gifts — all brought together in one considered space. Browse by location, by purpose, or simply wander and see what finds you. Want to sell with us? We'd love to hear from you.
