About AMATO NEWYORK Carolina Amato

One of New York's premier accessory houses, AMATO NEWYORK has been in business for over forty years. The brand is known for luxurious fine leathers, plush cashmere knits and wovens, and a collection of Made in Italy gloves which are produced at a small factory in Naples. Designer Carolina Amato founded the brand in 1978 under the mark that bears her name, eventually rebranding to simply AMATO NEWYORK in 2017. Today, our company enjoys a loyal group of style conscious consumers who appreciate impeccable Italian craftsmanship, as well as the consistent fit and design of Carolina Amato & AMATO NEWYORK. AMATO NEWYORK has been featured in pinnacle style magazines such as Vogue, Harper’s BAZAAR, WSJ, among many others. We are proud to have been members of the Council of Fashion Designers of America for over twenty five years. Company founder Carolina Amato started her early career as a painter and settled in a loft in New York's Fulton Fish market. Her unique talent served her well when she eventually turned her creative energies to fashion and accessories design in the late seventies, along with her husband, the architect Frank Capone. Carolina Amato hails from a family of Italian textile professionals who settled in New York City in 1910. The AMATO NEWYORK design legacy began with her maternal and paternal grandmothers, each of whom were skilled craftswomen who plied their craft in New York's garment center, where the AMATO NEWYORK showroom still exists today.Read their story
