About Ivy & Wood
Founded in 2016, Ivy & Wood is the creation of partners Jess and Brad, who handcraft every product in their north Brisbane warehouse. What started as a small kitchen experiment—Jess making candles as gifts for friends and family—soon turned into a business idea when everyone loved her creations.
They began with a market stall, launched a website, and opened an Etsy shop. As demand grew, Jess left her corporate career in 2017, and by 2018, Brad joined Ivy & Wood full-time. In 2020, during the height of the Covid pandemic, they outgrew their home workshop, moved into their first warehouse, and soon after expanded again as the business flourished.
Their team has grown, and two years ago, they welcomed their daughter, Poppy. Now balancing business with parenthood, Jess manages sales, marketing, and admin, while Brad runs the warehouse, overseeing production as chief candlemaker.
This year, they made a major life change, relocating both their business and family to the Redcliffe Peninsula—a move that reflects their vision of entrepreneurship: building a life they love.
Our Products
Ivy & Wood is deeply inspired by the beauty of nature, especially Australia's rich native flora.
We proudly collaborate with Australian artists to bring each of our collections to life, highlighting their creativity and talent.
Every product is hand-poured in Clontarf on the Redcliffe Peninsula, just outside Brisbane, using only premium ingredients, including:
- Soy coconut wax for a clean, long-lasting burn
- Pure cotton wicks for a smooth flame
- High-quality fragrance oils for an authentic, lasting scent
- Elegant glass jars with lids to keep your candles dust-free
Our jars are reusable too! Once your candle is finished, simply wash the jar with hot, soapy water, and it’s ready to be repurposed for storage.
