For our latest Made in Chinatown merchandise series, we recently partnered with Mott Optical Group on a small capsule collection featuring a T-Shirt and tote bag. The beloved optical store has come a long since its humble beginnings at the corner of Mott and Bayard Streets, and now boasts five locations across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens.

Some might argue ice cream is reserved only for summer months, but we think it’s a year-round affair that everyone can enjoy — especially velvety cones of delicious soft-serve from one of our favorite shops in Chinatown: Soft Swerve.

That’s why we’re proud to partner with them for our latest Made in Chinatown merchandise collection. Conceived by designer Jenny Acosta, the collection is inspired by the store’s diverse customer base and how ice cream can be a means to bring people together from far and wide.

Tea has been a venerable mainstay of Chinese culture for thousands of years, whether it’s served at dim sum or the comfort of your own home,  and its therapeutic benefits have been well documented during this time. That’s why we partnered with Sun’s Organic Garden Chinatown for our latest Made in Chinatown collection, a charming store located at 79 Bayard Street, which boasts over a thousand loose-leaf teas & herbs.

We partnered with Wing on Wo & Co. to produce a collection of merchandise that speaks to the store’s rich history while shining a light on Asian-American heritage — all while 100% of the proceeds go back to them.

As part of our ongoing Made in Chinatown merchandise initiative to support Chinatown businesses during the pandemic, we’re excited to launch our latest collaboration with Thailicious. The collection is a visual representation of the fresh herbs and ingredients used in traditional Thai cuisine, and our design team worked closely with Jay Lue — the owner and manager of Thailicious — to bring the restaurant to life.
