METICULOUS CRAFTSMANSHIP IN EVERY PIECE

Evelyn founded Linen, Ink, & Coffee in 2024 to meet the demands of educated consumers who prefer a holistic lifestyle and are interested in creating a timeless wardrobe by investing in statement pieces that are unique, contemporary, and meticulously crafted by Artisans from around the globe.

Each collection features classic hand-carved textures, and clean lines that elevate your wardrobe every time. With a commitment to sustainability, all pieces are made from responsibly sourced calf leather, Alpaca, wool, and other materials.

Her Andean roots, admiration for craftsmanship dated centuries back, and deeply personal approach to sourcing garments and accessories were key factors that inspired her journey as importer of selected goods.

"Growing up in Ecuador, around powerful businesswomen and as a fifth-generation woman entrepreneur, I am committed to delivering high-quality, exceptional value, and authenticity that can be seen and felt in every manufactured article on every single use."

Our Approach

Why are Artisan products relevant?

Artisan-made products, also known as handmade products, can be desirable for many reasons, including their quality, attention to detail, and personal touch:

Quality
Artisans are highly skilled and experienced, and they put a lot of care and skill into their work. This can lead to better materials, build quality, and durability than mass-produced items.
Attention to detail
Artisans infuse their passion into their work, which can make each piece unique and beautiful.
Personal touch
Handmade items can have their own history and the history of the people who made them, which can give them a value that goes beyond the object itself.
Sustainability
Artisanal brands are often transparent about their production cycle, and their techniques may be passed down through generations. Buying artisan-made products can help preserve these techniques and prevent them from being lost.
Economic opportunity
Purchasing artisan-made products can help support the artist or artisan's business and livelihood. Every Artisan brings their unique perspective and creativity to their products.

Thus, every piece has a history — from the relationship with the artisan, to the life of the wearer.

We curate and design each of our collections with the intention of creating pieces that can be passed down through generations, with minimal waste and minimal carbon footprint.

Our garments and accessories are made by artisans based in the highlands of Ecuador as well as other parts of the world with expertise in traditional methods and techniques to produce quality goods.
