Case study 007 · Aashir Kare · India · 2025

Where self care
and connection meets.

Aashir Kare makes handcrafted candles — premium soy and coconut wax, infused with fragrance oils. A product ready to sell with no brand to sell it under. We built the identity and the storefront together, so the shop launched looking like a brand rather than a template with a logo dropped in.

The problem

A product ready to sell, no brand to sell it under — and candles are bought on feeling, so a generic storefront would have killed it.

The move

Let the photography carry the whole brand. Serif italic for the one emotional line, hairline outlined buttons over the images, and one solid block of wax cream reserved for the single action that matters — Add To Cart.

Serif italic 48 for the one romantic line, Bold 96 for product names, Roman 40 for section heads. Montserrat 20 does every functional job — nav, prices, buttons.
Outlined, never filled
ShopEnter EmailAdd To Cart
Hairline pills over photography everywhere — the only solid button on the site is Add To Cart, in wax cream at a 7px radius. The interface never competes with the candle.

The result

Product-first pages, honest photography and a checkout that gets out of the way — built to sell without a sales team standing next to it.
