My name is Bella, and I am the founder of Candela Lux Candles.

Candela Lux began in March 2025 as a creative passion rooted in my love for candles, timeless design, and thoughtfully crafted pieces for the home. After months of development, testing, and refinement, the brand officially launched in August 2025 and quickly grew through local markets and vendor events across Rhode Island.

Through these events, I discovered a deeper interest — not just in selling products, but in the structure, flow, and experience behind well-curated events.

That experience led to a new vision.

As my involvement in the local event scene expanded, I began creating my own curated markets — events designed to feel more intentional, elevated, and beneficial for small businesses. In September 2025, Vendor Lux RI was launched as an extension of that vision.

Vendor Lux RI was created to provide a trusted space where vendors and businesses can connect with confidence, especially with the rise in impersonators and fraudulent event listings.

In January 2026, both Candela Lux Candles and Vendor Lux RI were brought together under Izzo & Co LLC, allowing the brand to grow beyond products into curated experiences.

Today, Candela Lux and Vendor Lux RI operate side by side — one focused on handcrafted products, the other on creating opportunities for small businesses to thrive. Both are built on the same foundation: quality, intention, and genuine connection.

With intention,
Bella Izzo
