WHO WE ARE

New Yawk & Co. is a boutique lifestyle brand inspired by the energy, diverse cultures and unmatched uniqueness of the world’s most dynamic city. I am a Graphic Designer and Illustrator by trade, having lived in numerous cities around the world, most of those years in NYC. I am a staunch advocate for equality, honesty and creativity which are the core values at the heart of the brand. Guided by the wisdom and experience of Rob Mercury, I strive to design and share products that empower the human spirit.

WHY “NEW YAWK & CO.”?

I was born in Rhode Island to parents from families deeply rooted in New York. My siblings and I grew up mimicking my mother’s syrupy Brooklyn accent. When people pointed it out, I proudly associated it with my heritage. Over the years, I realized the characteristics that define our personalities, like our accent, are shaped by our surrounding environment. I have come to see the world as a “collective” of individualism; something that New York epitomizes. There is no other place in this world that you will see people from different cultures, races, religions and social-economic backgrounds coexisting side-by-side. After living in New York for 10 years, I moved to California where I found myself holding onto my identity as a New Yorker as strongly as when I lived there. New Yawk & Co. will be a way to celebrate the different cultures that shape our lives through art, language and fashion. The designs will not be solely of New York themes; over time they will include influences from other places I have visited as well as inspiration from the New Yawk & Co. community.

100% QUALITY

I want every aspect of New Yawk & Co. to be the highest quality from the product design and production to the packaging and customer service. The shirts are printed on 100% ring-spun cotton; a tighter, softer and more durable weave than the average cotton t-shirt.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

From the outset, we have committed to support others in need. From basic and crucial needs like providing safe drinking water through Water.org, helping UNICEF.org save children’s lives in 190 countries, funding the ever-so important HIV Research at AIDSUnited.org and promoting human equality by supporting the LGBT community at HRC.org and supporting the fight against discrimination with the Equal Justice Initiative, we believe that every little bit will have a positive impact.
