History

Established in 1996.

Paddywax was founded by Atlanta, GA curator, Gretchen Hollingsworth, who desired something different for her career. Instead of cubicles, Gretchen created from her own kitchen, and grew her hobby into a worldwide luxurious candle brand. Paddywax partnered with Designworks in 2009, and now calls Nashville, TN home.

Paddywax has been recently profiled in Redbook Magazine, NYLON, US Weekly, Women’s World, All You, Life & Style, Town & Country, People, Coastal Living, Women’s Health, Lucky, InStyle, Real Simple, American Salon and many other world-​wide publications.
