OUR STORY

 

Experience the essence of elegance and exclusivity with Isla 84 NYC, a luxurious ode to the vibrant paradise that is the Dominican Republic.

Our founder, Mercedes Estevez, created Isla 84 NYC as a tribute to her native Dominican Republic, in early 2022, when in the midst of a pandemic, she yearned to be transported to happier times exploring the island. From there was born Isla 84 NYC, an homage to the scents, colors and lush tropical climate of the Dominican Republic and consists of luxury candles and other curated items.

Each candle is handcrafted in small batches and hand-poured using quality, natural ingredients, such as virgin coconut soy wax, phthalate-free and non-toxic fragrances,  and ethically sourced wooden wicks. Our products are eco-friendly, vegan and never tested on animals.
