WHERE SWEET MEETS HEAT 🌶️ CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA
Home/Our Story
Cape Town-born

THIS IS KANDY KULTURE.

Mexican-inspired. South African twist. A brand built around colour, flavour and the reaction that happens when sweet meets heat.

Kandy Kulture is a Cape Town-born candy brand by Delft Arts.

Inspired by the bold sweet, sour and spicy flavour culture associated with Mexican candy, Kandy Kulture brings its own South African personality to the experience.

Colour, flavour and reaction are part of the brand. Whether someone discovers Kandy Kulture online, at a market or through a friend, that first taste is meant to feel anything but ordinary.

The experience now extends beyond flavour: every 200g product is packed in reusable glass, because good candy should leave behind more than an empty wrapper.

THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE KANDY

At the heart of Kandy Kulture is Janine Fortuin, together with Cleo Hendricks and Diego Simons. Together they bring the colour, creativity and local personality behind the Kandy Kulture experience.
