PENN&INK N.Y

The history of Penn&Ink clothing begins in the 1960s in Brooklyn NY: the young and rebellious fashion designer Maureen J. Penn and Stanley Ink, a son from a prominent tailoring family. And the Penn and Ink brand was born.

Maureen is attracting attention with her groundbreaking designs, but she lacked all the knowledge to run the company PENN&INK N.Y. Stanley on the other hand had all the business ideas but no creative design skills.

In 2018, the PENN&INK N.Y brand launched a high-end eyewear collection, more than a complement to its clothing collections. In collaboration with a glasses/frames designer, 16 models were created at launch, 4 colors per model. Nowadays there is even more choice!

The eyewear collection fits perfectly with what Mauren and Stanley envisioned with their clothing label. The American sense of basics in clothing, fashion that is both relaxed and comfortable, yet cosmopolitan. And the New York neighborhood of Brooklyn also underwent a true transformation in recent years. With Williamsburg as its beating heart, it has become the crossroads of culture, food and fashion. Fully in line with their clothing and eyewear collection. A distinctive brand, with a distinctive story. Captivating and intriguing.
