Hints of mystery and intrigue combine to create Lost Coast’s seducing oceanic aroma.

.

Deep shadowy waters and uncharted coastal scapes were the concept behind, what has since become, our #1 best-selling fragrance year round.

.

It’s okay to get lost sometimes...

.

About this company:

.

In the spring of 2015, wife, mother of four, and military veteran, Melissa Burgess fell in love with the candlemaking process.

.

She found that it gave her a creative and therapeutic outlet while juggling the demands of motherhood and processing an on-going journey with PTSD.

.

After signing up for a handful of local maker's markets, Melissa's unique blends, strong fragrant throws, and muted packaging quickly gained the attention of San Diego consumers and retailers alike.

.

This early success eventually led to her husband (a Rockford Native) to jumping ship from corporate America and joining her in this "accidental candle company" full-time.

.

In 2019, Craft + Foster moved to Rockford to start their home here. They are in the process of opening up their new candle making wear-house and shipment shop, and we are so excited to spend more time with them.

.

In just a few short years, Craft + Foster has grown from local candle pop-up to a nationally recognized brand featured in Neiman Marcus and hundreds of amazing independent retail locations across the country.

.

Come check out this awesome candle company from San Diego / Rockford at Culture Shock!
