Step Into Your Own Private Library
Imagine lighting a candle and suddenly being transported to that rather marvellous old library you've always wanted to visit. You know the sort—all leather-bound spines and the faint smell of adventure. Well, we've managed to bottle that exact feeling, which is rather pleasing considering we started with melted wax and blind optimism.
This beautifully crafted candle blends the warmth of aged leather with the literary charm that book lovers absolutely adore. Whether you're curling up with a novel or simply want your home to smell like you've inherited a stately library, this is the candle for you.
Why Choose Our Leather Books Candle
Hand Poured in Small Batches: Made right here in the UK with the kind of care that would make a perfectionist weep. Each candle is poured individually, which means minor variations in appearance are actually proof of its handmade charm.
Soy Wax Goodness: We've ditched the paraffin for plant-based soy wax, because burning things should feel rather good about the whole arrangement.
Plastic Free Packaging: Your candle arrives in packaging that doesn't make Mother Nature wince.
Vegan and Clean: Paraben and phthalate free, because what goes into the air matters just as much as what goes into your body.
Something Splendid for Every Order: We plant a tree with every purchase. It's our way of apologising for all that wax smoke, really.

How to Get the Most From Your Candle
Trim the wick to 5mm before lighting. During your first burn, let the melt pool reach the edge of the jar before extinguishing. This rather simple step prevents tunnelling and ensures your candle burns beautifully throughout its life. Subsequent burns should be kept to 4 hours or less. Always keep the candle on a level, fire resistant surface, away from draughts, children, and pets.
Important: Never leave a burning candle unattended.

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!
All prices in lovely British pounds £ GBP, though international chaps will see converted prices.
Any payment pickle? We're here to help sort things out! Contact us
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.
