Our brand started in 2012 as Beaumaris Eilean's personal project. As it grew it started needing a name and a logo. At the beginning, the brand was named Eilean Couture and had a provisional logo. On 2016, Eilean adopted the organic philosophy so the brand became Eilean Organic Couture. This logo was designed by Renata Fonseca (@renatamtzf), a local artist. We loved this logo, because we love to support local artists and because it was very feminine and fun, just as our consumer. Since December 2016, we started working with Localista Estudio (@localistaestudio) on reconstructing internally our brand to have stronger basis to grow and be a more profitable business. During this process, we've analyzed our market and where our...
Tepetate is the name of our Spring Summer 2017 collection! What does Tepetate mean? It is Spanish for limestone. This collection is very important for our brand, since it brings a more sophisticated and evolved image for our costumers. This time, we worked with organic loom cotton, bamboo fabrics and organic cotton (read more about our textiles in our #WeCare section). We used oatmeal, black and white colors to portray organic luxury at its best. This collection is easy to mix and combine while being very versatile. The theme behind this collection, tries (as all of our collections) to raise awareness about something affecting the environment. This time it is all about the negative impact of limestone mining, which pollutes water and...

Our Textiles come from Mexican textile producers that share our philosophy and values. Our products cannot be considered organic, sustainable and ethic, unless all of our supply chain follows these politics. 1. Paperless office Both our suppliers and Eilean, we seek to reduce to a maximum the use of paper in our internal affairs and only print when it is the only way, or required. When we use paper, we use recycled paper. Our labels are also made with recycled materials. 2. Electricity Our textile producers work in factories designed to use as much as natural light as possible and always unplug any machine that is not at use. 3. Reuse, Recycle and Reduce In the office we look to reduce...
Did you know that Bamboo is the fastest-growing grass?It is capable of growing up to four feet a day! It mostly doesn't even need irrigation nor fertilizers and is grown organically. It is a great fiber since it has natural anti-bacterial and deodorization functions, while being 100% biodegradable, It can be washed fifty times and still have these properties.
