1611 was born out of friendship. A friendship that started in college in Virginia and a shared love for coffee, creativity, and good conversations which soon grew into Parable Coffee and eventually into 1611 (pronounced "Sixteen Eleven").
Seeing our friends' success from Parable Coffee we decided to start our own subbrand. What started as simply a coffee cart for catering has turned into designing coastally inspired apparel. We love serving our quality private coffee services, which are upheld to the same standards as Parable and making thoughtfully designed apparel that reflect the places we have been, the people we have met, and the values we stand on like authenticity, creativity, and connection. At its core, 1611 is about creating things we are proud of and sharing them with people who value truths that we do.
We hope you enjoy our services and gear as much as we love creating them for you!
