Candi Nicholls’ studio and home were tragically destroyed by fire on February 11th, 2021, just days before her birthday.   Candi is internationally known for her CANDIFAB brand of millinery, mosaics and is also recognized as a wardrobe stylist, costume designer, and fashionista. Fortunately, Candi and her family escaped unharmed, but sadly their pet cat, “Cheeto”, perished in the fire.

Most of you who know Candi, know that she is a gem of a person, one of the most kind-hearted, giving individuals, and even despite this tremendous loss she continues to volunteer with Feeding The Frontliners in Barbados.

The fire destroyed her tools, millinery equipment, raw materials, fabrics, vintage clothing, accessories, books, display stands, units, racks, and beads. What is left are charred remains and ashes.  The fire gutted the entire studio, kitchen, living, and dining rooms.  The bedrooms sustained major soot, smoke, and water damage.

Candi has been overwhelmed by the emotional support of family, friends, and her valued clients. To this extent, we have created this GoFundMe to help Candi rebuild, restock and rise again from the ashes and ignite her passion for her creativity.
