A Rather Splendid Tribute to Renaissance Beauty
Look, we'll be honest with you. We became rather obsessed with Michelangelo's David and thought, well, why shouldn't your home smell as magnificent as this marble masterpiece looks? So we've created a scented bust candle inspired by one of history's most gloriously confident sculptures. It's decorative enough to admire, aromatic enough to enjoy, and frankly quite the showstopper on a coffee table.
Why Choose Our David Body Candle
Inspired by Renaissance Perfection: Michelangelo captured strength and youthful beauty in every anatomical detail. We've honoured that in candle form, complete with the classical contrapposto stance that makes David rather impossibly handsome.
Hand Poured in London Using Natural Soy Wax: We pour each candle with care, using only soy wax and fragrance oils. No funny business, no shortcuts. The result is a properly crafted piece that actually burns beautifully.
Subtly Scented Even Before Burning: This candle throws a delicate fragrance without ever touching a flame. Rather convenient, that.
Dual Purpose Beauty: Most of ours live on the coffee table next to our jewellery dish or favourite book. They're fabulously made enough that you may never want to light them at all. Though if you do, they'll burn for approximately one hour of glorious ambiance.
Stone-Like Character: Some candles feature natural colour variations that make them look authentically sculptural. We rather like that imperfection.

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

Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay

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.

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.
