In an era increasingly defined by algorithms and artifice, Elizabeth Eakins the brand began at the loom. Founded in 1978 by Eakins, whose instinct for color and passion for weaving undergird an unwavering belief in making things by hand, the company has evolved into a collection of rugs, textiles, and wall coverings distinguished by their quality and refinement.

In design circles, owning an Elizabeth Eakins rug is considered a stake in the ground for authenticity. Step inside Garden & Gun’s new headquarters at 21 Magazine Street in Charleston, South Carolina, and you’ll see why. When interior designer Martha Mulholland set out to reimagine the magazine’s offices, housed within the old city jail, she knew the space would need more than modern finishes; it would need grounding, texture, and an emphasis on craftsmanship befitting a publication that champions Southern makers. Elizabeth Eakins rugs were the obvious choice.
“The brand uses this beautiful wool, and it’s all incredibly textural and soft,” Mulholland says. Those qualities provide a counterpoint to the nineteenth-century building’s formidable brick walls and stern architectural lines.

Elizabeth Eakins Rugs at G&G’s New Charleston Headquarters
G&G’s new space includes two octagonal rooms, expansive open workspaces, and smaller lounges where staff can gather for meetings or host intimate cocktail hours. “We wanted to stay loyal to the building’s roots and not put anything too contemporary in there, while freshening up the space,” Mulholland says. To strike that balance, she integrated Elizabeth Eakins’s cloth flatweaves in the two primary workrooms. The effect is an instant warming, and a softening underfoot. It’s design that practices what the magazine preaches—heritage honored and craftsmanship elevated.
Every step of the process, from dyeing the wool to preparing the loom to weaving and finishing the final product, is done in the most authentic way—and always by hand. That high-touch ethos is what drew Mulholland to the brand. The admiration, it turns out, ran both ways.
“We’ve long admired Martha Mulholland’s work, and with the recent Charleston showroom opening of our parent company, Holland & Sherry, the collaboration felt perfectly timed,” says Micah Spaniel, Elizabeth Eakins creative director. “Visiting Martha in her Los Angeles office was a delight—we shared our newest collection and explored possibilities for the G&G offices. The rugs selected give a warm depth to the space while offering the inherent durability of wool. We’ve recently launched a wide range of hard-wearing wool flatweaves and new quick-ship rug options that were an ideal fit for the project’s scale and scope.”
