Introduction
In a world where creativity meets entrepreneurship, few stories are as heartwarming and inspiring as that of Nina Bailey.

With each carefully crafted item, Nina and her mother not only celebrate their love for creating but also their commitment to quality and wellness. Join us as we delve into their journey—from humble beginnings in a kitchen to becoming a beloved brand featured in Peony Parcel’s pamper boxes. Discover the inspirations, challenges, and dreams that drive Nina Bailey to illuminate lives, one candle at a time.
The passion: What inspired you to set up your business?
At the time I was in high school and on weekends I was working as a florist’s assistant at our local florist. I learned a lot from my boss at the time. Every part of that little shop was completely curated by her, I loved the fact that the business was a direct reflection of her personality and style. To have complete creative control of your own work really attracted me to the idea of creating a business of my own. Keen to start somewhere I then pitched the idea of making homemade candles to my Mum and she immediately encouraged the idea. She herself had been running her own successful business for 13 years and was ready to take on something new and exciting. As a Mother/Daughter duo we enjoy spending time together and being creative so it was only natural that we wanted to collaborate. We then immersed ourselves into learning the craft and science of candles and our love of creating has only grown from there. Individually we bring our different strengths to the business and that’s what allows us to work so well together. Nina Bailey has been our full time business and passion ever since.
The launch: How did it all begin?
It all began in 2014 as Vintage Beauties Collection (not a good name, we know) only to rebrand the next year as Nina Bailey. The name Nina Bailey was inspired by our two dogs Nina and Bailey, both Pugaliers but completely different in every way. We simply adore them so we couldn’t resist naming our business after them.
With a desire to create and learn something new, we started in our kitchen making candles and selling at the local markets. It wasn’t at all glamorous in the beginning. It was a lot of hard work, but we persisted. Going to small business courses and networking events, even studying graphic design and product photography.
Our collection began with soy candles and diffusers but later on, with more resources and space to create, we began pursuing our passion of formulating natural bath and body products. We have always been conscious about our health and wellness practices and this has definitely translated into our range. We are very particular about the ingredients we use in our products, from the source of origin to the ultimate skincare benefits. We don’t believe in using cheap filler oils or ingredients that have a short shelf life. From product development, manufacturing and packaging design, all the way through to delivery, every detail has been carefully considered to ensure a luxury experience for our customers. We find the process extremely satisfying. Creating new products has always been our favourite part of working together.
