The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce announced yesterday the first round of companies that qualified for “Made in Brooklyn” certification. Products were awarded Gold, Silver or Bronze certifications and only 47 businesses were submitted in this initial application program.

Guess who caught that first train to Certificationville? Reclaimed Home is proud to announce that we now carry the Gold Brooklyn Made Certification! That means all of our handmade products are made by Brooklynites in our Brooklyn workshop with locally sourced materials.  True, many of our vintage items come from parts north, west, south and east, but we’re talking the hand made merch.  As far as the antiques go, 95% of it is ‘Merkin!

There were plenty of newbie Brooklyn hipster businesses that were also certified but we’re happy to see some old school NY peeps included: Michael’s of Brooklyn, Sahadi’s and Gillies Coffee.
