Snuff & Spill works out of a converted milking parlour outside Viroqua, Wisconsin, run by Teodor Halloran, who kept forty hives for a decade before he started melting down the comb he could not sell. He hangs six wicks from each rod and lowers them into a vat of beeswax about thirty times, letting every layer cool before the next, then tints the last few dips sage green with a pigment pressed from nettle leaves.
Who this theme is for
A small shop that sells things made for the table and the mantel in short runs: dipped candles, rush mats, linen napkins, brass snuffers. Buyers want to see the texture before they pay for something that will be burned or used, so the page opens on a lit pair of tapers beside the name and price, comes in close on the dip rings in the wax, then shows a rod of wicks going into the vat. The Wellness layout puts the photo and the buy button side by side and spaces the logo wide, which keeps a quiet product from feeling crowded.
What was decided in the brief
The style is Wellness on its second variant. The primary is a deep moss green close to the colour of the painted table in the photos, and the accent is a marigold yellow that matches the flame, so the buy button reads as warm against the green. The brand facts lead with the thirty dips because that is what separates a dipped taper from a poured one, and the burn time comes last because it answers the question buyers ask about price.
Questions
- Is this Shopify theme really free?
- Yes. You download a complete Shopify 2.0 theme ZIP and no account is needed. In your Shopify admin go to Online Store, then Themes, then Add theme, then Upload zip file.
- I sell tapers in four colours. How do I set that up?
- Add a Colour option to the product with values such as Sage, Natural, Rust and Ivory, and give each one its own photo. The theme shows the option above the add to cart button and swaps the photo when a buyer picks a colour.
- Where do I put candle safety and burning tips?
- Add a collapsible row to the product page in the theme editor and title it Burning. Two or three lines on trimming the wick and keeping the candle away from drafts are enough, and the row stays closed until a buyer opens it.
