EVELYN & KATE, the art‐inspired lifestyle brand known for transforming its original oil paintings into fashion accessories and home décor, announced a new representation partnership with Road Runners, a leading multi‐line sales agency and showroom network.

Through this collaboration, EVELYN & KATE will be featured in the Road Runners’ showrooms and represented by its team of experienced sales professionals across the Southeastern U.S. and in the central MINK States.

EVELYN & KATE was founded by lifelong friends and professional artists, Evelyn Lafave McCarthy and Kate Geraci as a result of a gift. After Kate hosted Evelyn for a solo exhibition at Amoré Gallery, Evelyn created patterns based on both of their original paintings and printed napkins and placemats as a unique thank you gift for Kate. That gesture blossomed into a full collection of canvas and quilted totes, silk scarves, tabletop linens and decorative pillows — each design drawn from their artwork and crafted to bring color and joy into everyday living.

“The decision to partner with Road Runners felt like a natural next step for EVELYN & KATE,” McCarthy said. “Their showroom at the Atlanta Market and reputation for representing premium lifestyle brands align perfectly with our growth goals. Our brand celebrates creativity, craftsmanship, and connection—so it’s exciting to have the Road Runners’ team help us bring that story to retailers nationwide.” Retail buyers will now be able to explore EVELYN & KATE’s full line of products at the Road Runners’ showroom in Atlanta and in person through their dedicated sales representatives.

EVELYN & KATE returns to Atlanta Market from Jan. 13-19, 2026, AmericasMart Atlanta. The brand will exhibit in Building 2, Floor 15, Booth 1525 in the Road Runners showroom.

Building on the momentum of winning the Best Product Merchandising Award at the July 2025 Atlanta Market, EVELYN & KATE will showcase their signature totes, silk scarves, decorative pillows, placemats and napkins. The focus remains on artist-designed accessories and home décor.

“We’re returning to Atlanta Market inspired by our past recognition and energized by our new partnership with Road Runners LLC,” said Evelyn Lafave McCarthy, CEO. “This Atlanta Market is a key moment for us — one where we connect with buyers, and deepen retailer relationships through our partnership with Road Runners.”

Retailers are invited to explore the colorful collections, which are perfectly suited for resort boutiques, museum stores and gift shops.
