"The core of my work is inspired by my passion for line, color, texture, pattern, and handcrafted details."
Mary Jaeger's work is about modern elegance and rich traditions. Uncluttered textiles and accessories reflect her aesthetic, melding ancient Eastern and contemporary Western design. Drawing on years spent in Japan and other areas of Asia and Europe, she creates timeless collections of hand-dyed textiles for wearable accessories and interiors panels that seamlessly move between seasons, places, and occasions.
Located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, the Mary Jaeger Atelier is a creative studio and retail space where innovative textile designs move from conception to production. Focused on sustainability and circularity, the atelier produces one-of-a-kind and limited-edition clothing, accessories, and interior objects. Mary’s collections utilize natural fibers, shaped-resist dyeing (shibori), and three-dimensional fabric manipulation, often reimagining vintage and post-production materials. Beyond production, the atelier serves as a vibrant community hub for the textile arts, hosting hands-on workshops, international exhibitions, and panel discussions that teach new skills, explore the value of handmade work, and foster camaraderie among makers and clients.
