Crowfoot Collective

Crowfoot Collective is an Indigenous owned and operated business based on Vancouver Island. Owned and operated by Lawrence and Claire Crowfoot, we employ a small team of artisan candlemakers. Lawrence is Blackfoot from Siksika Nation. He is a descendant of Chief Crowfoot and we take great pride in his Indigenous roots. From our thoughtfully designed packaging featuring the Blackfoot language and important Indigenous medicines, to the plant medicines in our Apothecary goods, his Blackfoot Culture is woven through every aspect of our business.

We believe deeply in Therapeutic Perfumery, and the power of Scent. Our Ethos is simple. Create beautiful, functional pieces which are meant to be enjoyed and loved. We strive to merge elegance and practicality.

Our artisan candle makers use Traditional methods to create Naturally scented candles to elevate your home, inspired by the unparalleled beauty of the natural world.

Our layered blends and completely unique beeswax candles are like nothing you've ever experienced before. Our candles can be found in over 300 stores across Canada and the United States and have been featured in many publications globally. Notable retailers include Holt Renfrew, Jillian Harris, and Amazon Music (given to their artists as gifts)

We are lucky enough to call the Cowichan Valley home. The Cowichan region is located in Canada’s only maritime Mediterranean climatic zone and as a result is home to some off the warmest year-round temperatures found anywhere in the country. Quw'utsun (Cowichan) is rooted in the Hul'q'umi'num word “shquw'utsun” which directly translated means “to warm one's back in the sun.” This unique micro climate allows for some of the most fertile and bountiful honey and beeswax apiaries in the country.

We use this local Cowichan Valley Beeswax in each and every one of our candles. Our candles are hand poured by Artisan candle makers on our small hobby farm in the Cowichan Valley from start to finish. Truly a Hive to Table experience.

Delicious local beeswax is used exclusively in our 100% Beeswax Candle collections. From Spiral tapers to Fluted Pillars, each candle is poured, tempered, dipped and polished by our team of Artisan candlemakers, using Traditional methods to make elegant and modern pieces. Beginning in 2025, we will be using Beeswax harvested lovingly from our very own hives.

Our scented candles are made with a custom blend of organic coconut, soy and local Beeswax. This blend allows our candles to burn cleanly and slowly. Beeswax is a dense wax which burns very slowly, allowing each candle to naturally fill your space with scent. Each candle is made with an organic cotton wick and poured into a food-grade reusable vessel, then packaged in our bespoke packaging made with recyclable materials.
