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 making 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
Life often unfolds in ways we’re not ready for, yet in the unravelment can come opportunity. I know I’m not alone when I say the last few years have felt tumultuous at best, and more often completely devastating. We’ve faced challenges to our health, freedoms, and wellbeing in ways that have felt impossible to make sense of. And on a personal note I have faced the same need to pause, reevaluate, and reconnect...as perhaps many of you did too.
Le Marké first presented itself as a small idea; a way to reframe our existing business ILA while utilizing the knowledge I’d been building throughout my career as a chef, entrepreneur, and creator. And yet the further I went down the path, the more it caused me to step back and consider what it means to bring something new into the world that serves a purpose, that amplifies quality of life, and that wholly aligns with a deeper set of values.
Le Marké is an expression of these lessons learned individually and collectively, a reflection of the cumulative impact of small changes; of the permission to slow down; of distilling experiences to their nourishing essence; of adding sustaining value today and tomorrow. My hope is that together, we can create the space to live a little bit more fully, deeply, and just the way we want.
