Light of Sakina has inaugurated its flagship store in Dubai’s Mall of the Emirates, developed by Mall of the Emirates, named as one of the top shopping destination by Forbes.
The store was found in 2018 with a team of two people including Naila Rahim, Founder and CEO who commenced the idea by teaching widows based in Iraq, the art of candle making. Fast forward to today, it has become a fully-fledged business which donates USD 1 of each sales to charity.
The ethos of female empowerment and philanthropy is still at the heart of the business, as a women centric team that strives to give at every opportunity. This Ramadan the team supported an elderly home in Sri Lanka. This has culminated into two stores, with one at Mall of the Emirates inaugurated in June in the presence of H.E. Yaqoob Al Ali, Dubai based philanthropist and investor.
"I am delighted to inaugurate Light of Sakina’s flagship store, a brand built on the values of sustainable luxury, passion, and a commitment to people and aesthete." Said H.E. Yaqoob Al Ali. "Moreover, I am very proud of Naila, and her team and cannot wait to see how far they soar."
From her end, Naila Rahim said," Our brand is built on the ethos of giving, and lifting spirits through love, light and positivity. Our key value of sustainability shines through, all the way from our product creation to business values. Our humble beginnings and commitment have led us to be a for profit business, and a diverse luxury candle range, with something for everyone."
With fragrances such as Persian Rose, Tuberose and even Elysian Fig, the crown jewel and bestseller is the Oudh candle. Captured in glass bottles, the luxury candles are created with soy wax, eco friendly wics and hand poured, so 100% made in the UAE. Each item is sold individually, but makes up a collection for easy cataloguing and coordinated display for the ultimate candle connoisseur.
Moreover, the company offers a refill service as part of its commitment to sustainable practices and can also fill existing jars customers bring to them with chosen fragrances.
Information is clearly displayed on the company website and the Mall of the Emirates kiosk opening, which was attended by key media outlets and influencers alike.
