Many people have asked what inspired me to create Little Montauk Collective. And the answer is quite simple. I wanted better. Better quality, better fabrics, better care for our babies. They deserve that.
Our personal struggle with infertility opened our eyes to the dangerous ingredients and materials in our foods, household products and our clothes.
Fast fashion has ruined our closets and our bodies. Polyester infested clothes have infiltrated the clothing industry-they last through one wash and shed micro plastics during each wash. Microplastics and harmful ingredients in our foods and household products are destroying our bodies from the inside out.
We swapped almost everything in our lives with healthier alternatives in hopes of being able to conceive naturally. Unfortunately, at this point, the damage had already been done. However, I truly believe the changes we made prior to starting IVF led us the success we had during our IVF journey. Not everyone has a success story even with the help of IVF. It shouldn't be that way.
Our daughter was born in August 2025 and during my pregnancy and also during her time her with us earthside, we have made a commitment to protecting her and our future children from the harmful things allowed into our homes and environment as much as we can. I realized that every clothing item/blanket I received as gifts were mostly polyester, spandex, nylon, and fleece- all of which shed micro plastics when washed.
The events that transpired throughout our journey of trying to conceive led the the birth of Little Montauk Collective. Not only did I want to create a space that offered timeless, neutral basics, and heirloom pieces but I wanted it to have a relaxed, elevated feel- pieces you might find on a boat in Cape Cod, walking Sconset in Nantucket, or relaxing beachside in Montauk- with sustainability at the forefront.
We have committed to making the world a better place for our babies- thank you for supporting our small business and helping us make a small difference.
