Design Scissors Chroma – Stainless Steel · 21.6 cm | Craighill
not the girl who misses much is a Hamburg-based design label founded by designers Sabine and Anke. Their candles translate themes into colour compositions — colour blocking meets stearin. At Charles & Marie, you’ll find selected pieces from their Christmas and seasonal collection: taper candles, pillar candles, tree candles and the POP candle holder.
Who’s behind not the girl who misses much?
Sabine and Anke — a trained industrial designer and interior architect — have been creating products for over 20 years. In 2019, they had the idea to translate themes into colours in candles: Santa Claus, reduced to red, white and black, became their very first greeting candle. Since then, the collection has grown to well over 100 variants. Design happens in Hamburg-St. Pauli; production takes place partly in Indonesia, where both personally oversee the manufacturing. The name says it all: nothing you’d want to miss.
What’s available at Charles & Marie?
Charles & Marie carries a curated selection from the seasonal candle collection by not the girl who misses much. This includes taper candles such as Halleluja, Weihnachtsmann and Tannenbaum, pillar candles with motifs like Adventskranz and Weihnachtsstern, tree candles in three shades of green from olive to emerald, the COUNTDOWN advent candle as a geometric highlight, and the popular Little Ones gnome figures. Plus the POP candle holder in metal — the colour-matched base for every taper candle.
Stearin and colour blocking — how the candles are made
The candles by not the girl who misses much are made from stearin, a plant-based wax. Stearin burns cleaner than paraffin, drips less and lasts longer. The design principle behind them is colour blocking: each candle translates a theme — Santa Claus, advent wreath, Christmas tree — into a reduced colour composition. Sabine and Anke work with traditional scale models to test proportions and colour effects before a candle goes into production.
