Mott & Mulberry takes inspiration from New York’s Mott and Mulberry Streets, in both spirit and namesake. The junction, that in the early 1900s connected the East and the West, is now known as Little Australia and is adjacent to Little Italy and Chinatown. Mott Street, regarded as Chinatown’s unofficial “Main Street,” is lined with tea houses, restaurants, and souvenir shops. Mulberry Street, which runs parallel to Mott Street, became known as Little Italy after the mass immigration from Italy in the 1880s. These vibrant communities made a home away from home, with early traders importing goods - fashion, food, wares - and sharing them with the wider community. Mott & Mulberry have transported this spirit of culture, trade, artisanship, and entrepreneurship to Australia.
