Welcome to CocoLaju

Hi, I’m Angela, the heart and hands behind CocoLaju. What started as a small spark of inspiration in 2021 has grown into a thriving business fueled by creativity, passion, and the desire to make every customer’s vision come to life.

The name "CocoLaju" combines three things close to my heart. It reflects my love for coconuts and the coconut wax I use in my candles. "LA" comes from my name, AngeLA, and "Ju" is a tribute to my best friend who inspired and supported me when I began this journey. Though she didn’t join me in launching the business, her unwavering support continues to motivate me every single day.

From Hobby to Dream Business

Creativity has been part of my life since childhood. At just seven years old, I learned to crochet and started selling handmade items to my neighbors. Over the years, that passion for creating evolved into something bigger.

Four years ago, I turned my love for crafting into a business, starting with candles, diffusers, wax melts, and accessories. But my heart always finds joy in making custom creations—unique pieces that bring a customer’s ideas to life.

Living My Dream Life

Originally from Brazil, I’ve been living in Australia for the past 10 years. It’s been a dream come true to call this beautiful place home while doing what I love every day. I am a cat mom of five beautiful fur babies. They are Tiger, Panther, Luna, Captain and Star. CocoLaju is more than a business, it’s a reflection of my gratitude, my journey, and my creative spirit.

Inspiration & Craftsmanship

My creative process is fueled by discovery and imagination. I draw inspiration from Pinterest, where I explore stunning designs and adapt them into something uniquely my own. Sometimes I recreate pieces I admire, and other times I combine different elements to craft something truly special.

At CocoLaju, every product is made with care, from the soft glow of our custom candles to the intricate details of personalized gift boxes and party favours. We hand-pour every candle in our Sydney workshop using sustainable coconut and soy wax infused with fragrances and essential oils. We pride ourselves on careful work and ethical production and know that you will feel inspired to practice positivity with each and every product you receive.

 My goal is to bring your ideas to life and create pieces that make your moments unforgettable.
