Made in NY allows qualifying businesses to use the Made in NY mark on their website and in promotional material to indicate support of the program. Use of the Made in NY mark allows fashion designers to illustrate their commitment to local production and the aims of the City’s program, not to brand specific apparel or accessories items.

MiQ (formerly Made in Queens) is a curated collection of locally made, quality products that are sold online, in select locations, and at pop-up shops. Since opening our doors in June 2016 we have been going strong, being featured in numerous exciting opportunities throughout the New York City area. We originally only worked with products made in the borough of Queens, but we have since expanded to include all of New York State. We are always on the lookout for the best products and the best places to introduce these products to consumers. MiQ‘s mission is to sell small batch, originally manufactured local products. The goal is to promote local makers and manufacturers, share their stories, and provide an opportunity for new and existing local businesses to grow and flourish.
