400 Years of Barbadian Heritage

Long before Evevior, there was Barbados.

Anchored at Molyneux, our family’s history traces back to the founding of Barbadian society as we know it. Life on the estate has always been dictated by soft Eastern breezes, shaded verandas, and an unhurried pace. It is a way of living centered on the art of leisure.

We created Evevior because modern living has stripped that ease away. In the city, relentless pressure of urban life follows you right up to the edge of the bed. Standard textiles lock in stale heat, leaving you tossing against coarse fabric in a room that was supposed to be your sanctuary.

The answer lies in pure silk.

Long celebrated as the pinnacle of natural textiles, silk possesses an intuitive intelligence. Dating back to 5000 BCE, the ancient art of sericulture created what the world came to call the Queen of Fabrics. For most of that history the fabric remained the exclusive domain of emperors and royalty. We bring that royal heritage out of history and into your evening routine.

Evevior exists to bring quiet luxury to your most private moments, helping you slow down, and embrace the leisurely spirit of the Eastern Caribbean.

New and Exact Map of The Island of Barbadoes in America (1722)

This copy of the famous 1721 survey of Barbados, dedicated to "The Most High Puissant and Noble Prince" James Bruges, Duke of Chados by "His most humble and most obedient servant" William Mayo came into the possession of our family in 1989. The survey that preceded this map took 5 years of labour from 1717 - 1721 to complete. The map lists the names of many of the European landowners and sugar planters present in Barbados in the early 1700's.

Today, after the dismantlement of the old plantocracy, Barbados' land has been used for myriad purposes beyond sugar cane cultivation, and can freely be bought and sold by her people.

The Molyneux Estate (1938)

The Molyneux Estate stands on the grounds of a former plantation in the parish of St. James. Our childhood was spent running between its gently rolling hills, exploring the centuries-old underground aqueducts, and watching birds flit between the tiny branches of our grandmother's bonsai collection.
