Our Story
Evenfall was born from an obsession with beautiful design, a commitment to sustainable craftsmanship and a passion for rich, vibrant color. Designer, founder + textile enthusiast Melissa Miller began experimenting with ways to capture the elusive color palette of magic hour—that passing spell between sundown and dusk where the glow of dreamy hues and otherworldly undertones come to life for a few, fleeting moments. What emerged from this passion project was a vision for a home design collective (and an evocative name for the shop—a hybrid of the words evening and nightfall) that would bring a refined, color-driven approach to low-impact handicraft.

After consulting for a leading hemp brand that pioneered the use of the carbon-negative plant to produce a fashion-forward hemp alternative to cotton tees, Miller was won over by hemp’s incredible regenerative capabilities, unmatched durability and soft-to-the-touch fibers.
-
Inspired and primed to move forward as a 20-year retail veteran versed in textile product development, merchandising and creative direction, Miller set out to update the sustainable home textile space with styles that would offer a joyful departure from the ubiquitous, neutral-only color palette (read: grays).
