History
Established in 2013.
Brooke created Little Blueberry when she was only 13 years old. The company was founded in the heart of southeastern New York. At Brooke's 13th birthday party an older woman taught Brooke and her friends how to make jewelry. That was the starting point of a long and beautiful journey.
Since then, her love for the process and passion for creating has only grown. She began Little Blueberryy's Etsy shop with knitted headbands and cold weather accessories to survive her college experience in the brutal Buffalo, NY winters. She then transferred to the Fashion Institute of Technology. Upon walking across the stage at graduation, Brooke knew so many positive things would come her way as a fully equipped business woman.
Little Blueberryy opened up their first retail location at 107 Partition Street in the town of Saugerties NY, where Brooke was born and raised, in July of 2018. She carries other local artisans and women designed products in her boutique.
Meet the Business Owner: Brooke M.
When I was 4 years old I was enrolled in private art lessons. I always knew I had a passion for creating & I was most definitely on my path at such young age. I would always say I wanted to open up my own shop in Saugerties & go to college at the Fashion Institute Of Technology, both of which I did.
At age 13, I really had a passion for making jewelry. My friends and I would make jewelry all day & I decided to turn it into a business. I had girlfriends who were my "business partners" for a day or two & then they would bail out on me and not take my process seriously, but that didn't discourage me.
I decided to go my own way and start brainstorming business names. I wanted my business to represent something all natural, from the earth, like my handmade creations. I was thinking of flowers, plants and then finally it dawned on me, Little Blueberryy. I knew the name was perfect because one of my favorite childhood memories was picking blueberries with my grandma.
