Kate Cloy

Hey Y’all!
My name is Kate and I am the new proud owner of the Urban Collective. I’ve lived in Greenville, South Carolina for 23 years. I love the Clemson Tigers and Dr. Pepper, like way more than y’all could ever understand! I’ve been obsessed with candles since my early 20’s, and you can find one in every room in my home. I am an open book, and love getting to know new people, and will do just about anything to get a laugh out of someone!

I am a mom to two of the most incredible kids imaginable. Keira my oldest has a heart of gold. She is creative, witty, incredibly kind, and is the best big sister to her brother. My youngest, Kohen, is my firecracker. He loves being silly and his giggle is contagious. He is best friends with our dog, Luna. He loves being outside and exploring, and he gives some of the best hugs out there.

Kohen was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Global Developmental Delay at the beginning of 2022. He requires around the clock care from me from the smallest to the biggest of needs. Therapies, doctor appointments, and overwhelming or overstimulating days for him are what fill up our schedule. As a single mom my options for a traditional 9-5 became non-existent when we learned of the care Kohen would require.

Part of why I love what I do with The Urban Collective is it gives me the privilege to create these beautiful candles while allowing me to provide in-depth care to my kids. I take time hand-crafting each one of these beauties and selecting vessels with scents that I feel would bring beautiful aromas to your home. Every single one of your sales means more than you will ever know and directly provides for my kiddos. To that I say a million times, THANK YOU!
