Mariko originally founded M.N. Davis & Son as a side project, before developing it into a full-fledged product line. Her signature feedsack tote bags are designed, hand-printed, and hand-sewn, right here in Brooklyn.
Originally from Japan, Mariko now works out of her studio in Greenpoint and will be joining us at Saturday’s Fall Market. Her story, which she shares below, is an inspiration for local creatives and entrepreneurs alike.
