Z Brick + Mortar Boutique
Z CANDLES, was established by Erica Zabudsky 10 years ago, she and friend, Hillary Gibson launched it's first lab and retail storefront in Lake Oswego, Oregon in February 2025. Customers are able to purchase candles + candle accessories, create custom candles, and refill candle vessels. The candle lab is open for walk-ins, group classes, or private parties. The store has an elevated vibe with a custom toile mural, candelabra inspired chandeliers, warm wood tones, gold-colored accessories, polished quartz counters and a cozy sitting area.
Erica has a passion for creating comfortable cozy spaces with a strong belief that candles are an essential element in creating a desirable environment via both appearance and aroma. Erica has been making candles for 15 years, and what started as a personal quest for a clean burning candle has grown into Z CANDLES. This new brick + mortar storefront is an exciting step forward after being featured by many local boutiques and scattered throughout the US with both wholesale and online retail sales.
Z CANDLES are all hand poured in Lake Oswego, Oregon and are made with 100% soy wax derived from domestic soy beans and high quality fragrance oils. Z CANDLES do not contain dyes or phthalates, and the wicks are made from natural cotton with no lead or zinc for a clean burn without harmful chemicals being released into the air.
The new Z CANDLES Boutique + Lab is located in Kruse Village, Lake Oswego and is more than a just retail store - it is an experience. This inviting space welcomes the community to create custom candles and stay awhile to catch up with friends, or visit a nearby business while your candle sets and then return for pickup. Kruse Village is also home to fellow newcomer, Surefire Fine Jewelry, and a wide variety of businesses perfect to grab a bite to eat or sip a drink while your custom candle sets.
