In the latest segment of Vendor Fridays, brought to you by the Bermuda Economic Development Corporation (BEDC), Quayunte Wilson of Gombey Isle joins The Daily Hour to share the story behind her Bermudian-inspired brand.
What began as a creative interest in candle making has developed into a business focused on handcrafted luxury concrete décor, candles and fragrances. Gombey Isle’s pieces are inspired by Bermuda, with an emphasis on culture, craftsmanship, sustainability and creating products that evoke a connection to the island.
We discuss Quayunte’s entrepreneurial journey, what inspired her to create Gombey Isle, the process behind her handcrafted concrete vessels and signature scents, and what she has learned about turning creativity into a sustainable business. We’ll also explore how she continues to grow the brand while keeping its Bermudian identity at the centre.
