Portrait of shop owner Carly Boonparn

Parachute Brooklyn was founded in 2019 by Carly Boonparn and Ambra Markos, inspired by a shared passion for fashion, sustainability, and community. The co-founders met when their three-year-old daughters became friends at school, sparking a connection that led to the creation of the shop.

Today, Carly Boonparn is the sole owner of Parachute Brooklyn, bringing over 15 years of experience in resale as a former manager at Beacon's Closet. She continues to grow Parachute's mission of keeping great children's clothing in circulation, making it easier for families to shop thoughtfully, sustainably, and affordably.
