A World of Heritage, Home AND the Art of Living Beautifully

Our collections reflect the heart of who we are: A heritage-inspired brand rooted in legacy, shaped by artistry, and devoted to the quiet beauty of home. Each collection is a chapter within our larger story—an invitation to explore the many ways that tradition, craftsmanship, and nature can shape a life of fine living.

We shape each collection with an eye toward the past and a heart tuned to the present,
drawing inspiration from the places and traditions that made us. Inspired by the homes and properties that shaped our family’s story, we envision The Estate as the heart of our world—an imaginative gathering place where heritage, cultivation, artistry, and daily ritual come together. Our collections draw from this estate, each one reflecting the rooms, gardens, and traditions that formed our way of living.
From the century-old practices of growing and blending our teas, coffees, and spices to the thoughtful curation of homewares and seasonal goods, every offering is chosen for its quality, its character, and the story it carries.

The IME 1848 Mercantile and the IME Journal were created as companions—two sides of the same house. For every room represented in the shop, there is a corresponding room in the IME Journal, where we explore the histories, philosophies, and inspirations behind our collections. One offers the tangible expression of our heritage; the other
offers the narrative and meaning that bring it to life. Together, they reflect our belief that a beautiful home and a thoughtful life are woven from the same threads of intention, culture, and care.
