When we first heard of this product, it was from a customer requesting "a candle follower with a little hat on top." Well, we had never heard of such a thing, but over the next few months several similar requests came in. As a result, we set out on a mission to discover exactly what people were trying to find. After looking long and hard, we located an item called a Shade Carrier in the UK. So we immediately began working on a prototype to fill these requests. Here is the result, and we couldn't be happier with the result. These shades and carriers are an easy way to make a stunning candle lighting presentation.
