Mariettas keeps old fashion alive on Court Street
In Carroll Gardens, Marietta's clothing shop on Court Street endures as neighbors shift from working class families to trendier businesses. Brothers Joe and Mat Chirico, WWII veterans who took over about 60 years ago, keep prices low and inventory steady with practical items like slips and large panties. They give away bowties to customers old and young, reflecting a store built on hard work and a simple mix of longevity and loyalty.
