The Rust Belt is a region in the United States stretching from New York through the Midwest that once thrived on the steel industry. It became an industrial hub due to its proximity to the Great Lakes, canals and rivers, allowing companies to access raw materials and ship out finished products. This region is called the Rust Belt because the decline in industrial work has left many factories abandoned and uncared for, rusting due to their exposure to the elements.

AUTUMN 1965 (Limited Edition)
As this Ohio candlemaker looked through her dad's scrapbook, she fell in love with a photo of him in his football uniform. The look of determination, grit + old school black and white photography captured the essence of Football season. So she created a candle and a fall scent! A portion of the proceeds of this candle will benefit her hometown team...the Bulldogs! Scent profile: pumpkin, pigskin, bonfire embers, and heart.
ILLINOIS 21.815 – TANNED LEATHER + TOBACCO
Pulling inspiration from the Tannery District along Chicago River’s north branch. Hands crafting rugged, tooled, beautiful, durable goods with only a break for a smoke. This scent captures stout-hearted essences of rich leather + leaf tobacco softened with a bit of sandalwood.
PENNSYLVANIA 02. 412 – RED CEDAR SMOLDER
Remembering the hard-working residents of the numerous steel mills along the three rivers of the Pittsburgh area, finding a retreat in a cabin within the Laurel Highlands. Notes of cedarwood, smoky kindling, a blanket of fir needles, and a hit of spice.
KENTUCKY 15.858 – BOURBON + APPLE
At the southern part of the Rust Belt region lies a place that conjures up images of the refineries of Covington, tobacco-filled barns, and even better-known buildings lined with aged barrels filled with distilled grain mash. We think a perfect compliment to that is a good mix of cider apples, clove, amber whiskey, rich aged bourbon and earthy woods.
MARYLAND 07.410 – DARK ROASTED BLEND
What hard-working blue-blooded American doesn’t like to take a coffee break. We are certain they did just that at the Sparrows Point steel mill and the Baltimore ports. Rugged hands grip the cups from their thermos as they revitalize by drinking this black elixir. Dark Arabica Beans are ground and steeped just perfectly to fragrance your space.
OH 17.330 – ONE TOUGH COOKIE
Resilient and industrious roots are what make up Youngstown’s tough working communities. From the of Black Monday in 1977 a city who once thrived in steel now resurrects as the new Tech Belt. We honor that hard work ethic along with a tradition special to the region of a good old fashioned Italian Cookie Table. Elements of aromatic vanilla, brown sugar, bourbon, allspice and spicy cardamom.
INDIANA 19.219 – PUMPKIN PORTER ALE
The city of Gary along Lake Michigan may no longer “harvest” metals but the lands to the south, where the Rust Belt and the Grain belt melt together with farmland fields of corn and pumpkin patches that spread out for what seem endless miles. This fragrance is a spicy composition of heirloom pumpkins, cardamom, and a bit of a boozy spice.
MICHIGAN 26.313 – BLACKBERRY + ARUGULA
Outside the glory of being the Motor City, Detroit and surrounding communities are returning to the land as a way to start over. Ranking 4th in the Nation in Farmer Markets we only see it fitting to create a fragrance full of wild blackberries, a bundle of arugula, crushed herbs and green pear.
