About Us

 

Parachute Brooklyn is a buy-sell-trade children’s clothing store in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, specializing in gently used modern and vintage clothing for ages 0-12 years.

Committed to circular fashion, we provide an affordable, sustainable alternative to fast fashion while fostering eco-conscious habits in children through secondhand shopping.

We celebrate kids' self-expression by offering a diverse selection of styles, empowering them to explore their unique tastes.

Alongside our selection of secondhand clothing, our store offers a thoughtfully curated array of new accessories, unique gifts, and one-of-a-kind handmade and upcycled items.

Parachute Brooklyn was founded in 2019, driven by a shared passion for fashion and sustainability. Co-founders Carly Boonparn and Ambra Markos met when their three-year-old daughters became friends at school, sparking a connection over their mutual interests. Boonparn brings 15 years of experience as a manager at Beacon’s Closet, a well-known local buy-sell-trade clothing chain. Markos, a Fashion Design graduate from FIT, has worked as a production manager for brands like Rag & Bone and Madewell.
