The natural beauty of Maine is all too often overlooked. As a native Mainer, Ben Ray, founder of Evangeline, regularly stops and spends a moment in wonder and appreciation of this. Ledges and seaweed, forests of tall pines, the spectacle of the seasons - life in Maine is simple and rugged while the people are straightforward and honest. Ben and his wife Alessandra have chosen to remain in Maine and raise their children Atticus, Harlow and Hazel here. In short, Maine is home with all the warmth associated with that term. And it's where they intend to grow old together.
For more than a decade, Ben traveled the globe working in the textile industry. When the moment came for some professional introspection, Maine once again came into focus. He founded the company born from love for his native Maine, and named it after fellow Portland native, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s poem, Evangeline.
In his words: “I am proud that Evangeline is born from this rugged and enduring place. After all the stops along the road, I'm back home and finally able to execute my vision for beautiful, heirloom quality textiles."
“In every Evangeline piece I hope that I've captured a bit of the wild, the resilience, and the warmth of Maine with simple materials woven to be used daily,”says Ben.
