Welcome to the Ladybug Boutique! We are the #1 supplier of unscented candles in the Victoria, BC area. All of our candles are fragrance-free.

We carry the highest quality paraffin, stearin and beeswax candles, from Danish, German and local BC makers. Our amazing variety of shape and colours, in through coloured, over-dyed, hand-dipped and specialty candles is second to none. (The bosses’ opinion, of course, come and see if you don’t agree!)

Our selection of wrought iron candle-holders, chandeliers and sconces as well as glass, pewter, brass and bronze will enhance any decor.

Other fine items include our famous Scandinavian specialties (including the “Goody Corner”), glassware, silk rings, and pottery by BC potters Susan Clarke and Marilyn Henderson, hand-woven table linens from Saltspring Island, BC and scarves from Judy, a long time Victoria weaver.

Our selection of museum reproduction jewelry from the Viking Era has been augmented by stunning dichroic glass earrings and pendants by Renate, a local glass artist, hand-made earrings from “BB Creations” (from beautiful Nanoose Bay on Vancouver Island) and Leona’s hand painted domino pendants from Vancouver.

We are always on the look-out for new and interesting local products to tempt our customers, so if you make something neat and interesting, send Michael an email…

A Little Bit About Our Store

The Ladybug Boutique started out as Scandinavian Weaving in Market Square on Johnson Street in downtown Victoria some twenty-five years ago. A very nice Swedish lady named Victoria decided, in 1985, to open a small store to sell her weaving.

About a year later an equally nice Danish lady named Birgitte joined her and a great partnership was born! Over the years the ladies expanded into Candles, Giftware and Scandinavian Specialties’ from Christmas Nisser to craft-paper, flags, mugs, Danish iron and glass, cookbooks and traditional Swedish, Danish and Finish jewelry.

With the move twelve years ago to Mattick’s Farm in Cordova Bay the name changed to “The Ladybug Boutique” in honour of Victoria’s lifetime fondness for lucky ladybugs.

After three years of operation in Vancouver as well, the two decided that retirement might be worth contemplating, so on the day of the twentieth anniversary the store officially passed into the safe hands of Michael.

Birgitte and Victoria spent a year bringing Michael up to speed and have remained great friends of the store, appearing at Christmas time and regularly stopping by to visit. (We suspect they like to keep an eye on their “baby”!)

The familiar faces of long time staff members Leslie and Mary, along with the addition of Betty, four years ago, ensure that customers are welcomed to “The Ladybug” with enthusiasm and good cheer.

Customers will find everything they have always enjoyed, mixed with new lines of glass, pottery, jewelry, candles and candleholders. So much to tempt the pocketbook!

As we always say: “If you can’t find the perfect gift, at the right price, in this store, you’re not looking hard enough!”
