Our story
Made With Love in Kashmir
Lumina By Saima began with a love of warm light and quiet, intentional moments.
The beginning
A Small-Batch Labour of Love
Lumina By Saima was born from a love of warm light and quiet moments. Every candle is handmade in small batches in Kashmir, poured with care using natural soy wax and thoughtfully chosen fragrances. No two pours are exactly alike — each piece carries the soul of the hands that made it.
From our studio to your shelf, every step is deliberate — because the best things in life are never rushed. We believe your home deserves decor that feels as gentle and intentional as the light it gives off.
