Owner Kate Huling and her husband have owned restaurants in Brooklyn for many years, putting into practice an eco-friendly, simplistic business philosophy: Use everything. They purchase whole animals from small, Northeastern grass farmers and incorporated every part of the body into their dishes, even the tongue. However, for a long time, they had no use for the hide.
After a visit to Barbara Shaum’s shop in the East Village (where her friend was a leather master), Kate fell in love with leather. About a decade later, in 2016, realizing that it would be the perfect way to use the parts of the animals that were not being used as ingredients in their food, Kate and her husband opened Marlow Goods.
The store contains a variety of practical, everyday products designed with attention to detail in every step of the process, from live animal to finished good. In a world where fast fashion has become the norm and manufacturer-to-customer interaction has all but been eliminated, Marlow Goods is a breath of fresh air.
