About Frankfort Candle Company

Melissa Knieriem is the founder of Frankfort Candle Co., a vintage candle company that celebrates the significance of family heirlooms and cherished memories. As a mom of four girls with a passion for vintage style and an interior design background, her signature sustainable clean-burning candles are curated with luxe fragrances and wooden wicks, all of which can be continually refilled or repurposed. Inspired by her nostalgia for the ways that her grandmothers cultivated their homes, Frankfort Candle Co. candles are made from one-of-a-kind vintage vessels that are handpicked and hand-poured by Melissa, with a focus on supporting Chicagoland local charitable causes through donating a portion of proceeds back to the community.
