Inspired by tucked-away European markets, the ease of an unrushed evening, and the deeply lived life. We seek, source, and share goods that invite living expansively in the present while supporting a more sustainable future.
We’re guided by the unspoken bond that comes from sitting across from one another at the table. A belief in the generosity of a home-cooked meal; in ingredients that celebrate place and season; in the stories we tell; in everyday ways of living and being. Le Marké’s evolving collection is connected through goods that support immersively living in the present…with a greater consciousness of our shared future. Reimagining ways to invite wellbeing into daily life, we work to simplify sustainability while amplifying ease, beauty, and experience. We invite you to slow down with us — to celebrate the texture, fragrance, and rhythm of it all. To roll with the improvisation and spilled wine and burnt chicken and the mess that can wait until morning. To realize that imparting these glimmers of beauty into our days is a gift.
SUSTAINABILITY
We're guided by decisions that support the future we want — for ourselves, our communities, and our planet. We celebrate what it means to consciously reduce our imprint on the environment while soaking up as much beauty, joy, and connection as possible out of daily life.
Le Marké’s glass vessels are designed for reuse and longevity, intended to live as beautiful, functional daily fixtures in your kitchen and on your table…and to reframe the efforts of sustainable living into ease-filled rituals.

THE STORY OF LE MARKÉ
A Letter From Our Founder
On Moving to Rome
I recently read somewhere that you move to a city not for the city itself, but for the feeling of it. I also believe there’s a reason you’ve been called to it. In my time here, I’ve been slowly untangling these callings.
Our move to Italy was not impulsive (although it was indeed quick) — it was a conscious decision to make space for a new rhythm. To live more slowly, more connected.
There’s something in the way the morning light slips through linen curtains in an old Italian home — not staged, not performative. A quiet rhythm of life as it’s always been. La Dolce Vita, so often borrowed and hashtagged, isn’t about perfection or construction. It’s a feeling, inherited. A life lived in soft focus, where beauty is not curated but found.
It is memory — visceral and enduring. It lives in the steam rising from a stovetop espresso, the town’s church bell that is never quite on time. It’s in the sound of plates being stacked after lunch, a slow afternoon stretched out. You don’t chase La Dolce Vita. You settle into it.
It was never meant to be an aspirational concept. It was born from simplicity — from a country that has always known the art of enough. Not too much, not too fast — just right. And when Fellini gave it a name, the world paused to look. But Italy had always been living it.
The sweetness doesn’t come from indulgence. It comes from presence. From the patience of long meals, of making time. From knowing that life’s riches are sensory — the salt on your skin, the glint of light through the doorway, the smell of ripe tomatoes at the market.
La Dolce Vita is not a commodity. It’s passed down, it’s remembered, it’s felt. And for us, it’s the quiet reason behind everything we do.
Our summer campaign was shot this month in Southern Italy, a place close to our hearts that we’ve been visiting for over a decade. Here, we created our interpretation of the ‘art of an Italian summer ‘— threading in moments of quiet, friendships, and of course, food, as the connective tissue that brings it all together. I’m proud of the work we created and the love that went into it.
More to come.
With gratitude,
Karen Mordechai
