About Us

Handcrafted with Love in Clayton, NC

Welcome to L & J Designs 21 — we're Lasita and James, a husband-and-wife team who turned a shared passion for home fragrance into something truly special. Every candle we make is hand-poured right here in Clayton, North Carolina, with care, intention, and a whole lot of heart.

Our Story

What started as a love for creating warm, inviting spaces has grown into a small business we're incredibly proud of. We believe your home should smell as good as it feels — and that the perfect candle can turn any ordinary moment into something memorable. That's why we pour every single candle ourselves, by hand, using 100% soy wax for a clean, long-lasting burn you can feel good about.
