“It became a tradition, whenever my student loan landed into my bank account I would get all dressed up and bolt into central London feeling like a millionaire. I would do two things; 1. Eyelash extensions (it wasn’t a good look) and 2. Buy a single stem of hydrangea from my favourite florist.  That hydrangea was wrapped in paper, swathed in cellophane, and adorned with their ultra-chic branded silk ribbon which would later be transferred to my lamp stand. The florist would place the hydrangea in a gigantic bag, take my £10 and send me, my eyelashes and my gigantic bag away, looking like we’d just dropped some serious cash and feeling on top of the world.  I chose the hydrangea because it’s big, bold and lasts the longest. Size matters! I loved how it felt to buy it, unwrap it and display it; owning it made me feel special. I created METRE Candles with that magic in mind. Whoever you are, whatever your reason, sometimes everyone just needs a moment to own something special.”
