Makie Yahagi is known for her stylish and minimalist childrenswear clothing and her small but established Manhattan shop, MAKIÉ, in SoHo. She left Japan in her twenties for NYC and opened her shop a few years later in 1999. She sources her high quality natural fabrics mostly from Japan and Italy, and all of her clothing is made locally in NYC or in her atelier in the back of her shop on Thompson street.
