Get in touch Our story

The concept

Roots593 begins with the idea of origin

The root stands for what connects us to the land, to history and to where we come from. The 593 makes the identity unmistakably Ecuadorian.

Roots: Origin, and the connection to the land. We buy straight from the people who grow, and we publish what we paid at the farm gate.
Mountains / territory: Ecuador. Highlands, coast and Amazon in one catalogue, traceable by farm and by lot.
Islands: Diversity and singularity. Every origin is run as its own line, with its own calendar and its own process.

Shop

Three origins, three crafts

Each line is run independently, with its own harvest calendar, process and presentation.

Cocoa

Nacional Fino de Aroma, bean to bar

Arriba Nacional cacao from the Guayas basin and the Amazon, fermented in wooden boxes for five to seven days and processed in short batches. Floral, fruit-forward profiles that cannot be replicated outside Ecuador.

Coffee

High-altitude arabica, hand picked

Beans selected from farms between 1,400 and 1,900 metres in Loja, Zaruma and Intag. Controlled fermentation, sun drying and small-batch roasting keep each origin's profile intact.

Hats

Toquilla straw, woven by hand

Panama hats woven from toquilla palm in Montecristi and Cuenca — a craft listed by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage. Every hat is woven, blocked, trimmed and finished by hand before it leaves Ecuador.
