Char Defrancesco is a Swiss entrepreneur, model, actor, interior designer, and fashion designer, best known for his relationship and subsequent marriage to Marc Jacobs, a well-known American fashion designer. However, he was a successful name in multiple industries well before that, having been a fashion designer with his own clothing store dedicated to hip and trendy dads. Following the collapse of the economy, Char also became a model in New York City, New York, and Los Angeles, California, United States so he could pay his bills. After a painful breakup, Char decided to redesign his closet at home, and the picture he shared of the process gained traction and pushed him to start a career in interior design. He also became an entrepreneur out of his own love for fragrances and relaxation at home. At one point, Char recognized he spent more money on candles with a fragrance than on his monthly rent.
With that in mind, Char decided to make them himself out of coconut wax after some research, as a way to save money and make them exactly to his liking. He received praise from his close friends who were also designers, models, and socialites, so he decided to turn them into a business and created a candle collection named Get Lit By Char. Its 3 signature candle products – Lit, Rich, and Bae became a success and were praised by the likes of Naomi Campbell, among many others. The Lit candle, which consists of an original combination of hashish and agarwood, and Bae, made of caramelized tobacco, nuts, vanilla, and charred wood, also have a travel tin version due to Char’s own need for portability when traveling. He is also an actor and has appeared in 1 episode of the drama, mystery web series Sense8 in 2017. Char has also amassed a fanbase online with more than 150k followers on Instagram.
