About Us

After working for many years in art galleries and museums, we established Greenjeans in March 2005 as the place where we could put our values and ideas about craftsmanship, sustainability, and conscientious living into action.

Our mission is to create a space where traditional craft meets the craft new wave, and customers can view, learn about, and purchase work by independent artisans from around the country (and beyond). We are committed to running an environmentally- and socially-responsible business. We write about all this and more on the blog.

Always on the lookout for artisans pushing the edges of craft, as well as for lesser-known masters of continuing traditions, we travel far and wide visiting studios and workshops, be they in an urban loft or at the end of a long dirt road. Currently, we work with over 60 artisans, most of whom are exclusive to us in New York City.

We love hearing from you – contact us at info @ greenjeansbrookly.com.

Thank you for visiting!
