Chesapeake Bay Candle is the home fragrance brand synonymous with stylish design and unique, nature-inspired fragrances. Based in Rockville, MD, the brand draws inspiration from the serene beauty of Maryland’s idyllic shoreline. Season after season Chesapeake Bay Candle provides style, fragrance, and ambiance to millions of families around the world. Driven by their entrepreneurial spirit, husband-and-wife team Mei Xu and David Wang established their company Pacific Trade International with the signature home fragrance brand Chesapeake Bay Candle in 1994. Following her passion for design, Mei began by arranging a candle work shop in their home in Annapolis, MD where she created the first Chesapeake Bay Candle collection using Campbell soup cans as candle molds. Having always looked for an escape to a natural lifestyle, and inspired by the surrounding beauty of the Maryland bay area, Mei and David decided to pay tribute to this treasured coast line and named the candle brand Chesapeake Bay Candle. Over the years Chesapeake Bay Candle established partnerships with America’s most renowned retailers, including Target, Kohl’s, and Bed Bath & Beyond. Today Chesapeake Bay Candle is one of the most popular candle brands in the country and around the world. The current Chesapeake Bay Candle product portfolio includes candles, candle gift sets, alternative home fragrances and home accessories.
