The MABG Signature

Every story starts with a spark.

This one didn't begin with a grand plan or a perfect vision — it began with a feeling. A desire to create something that could offer warmth, comfort, and a sense of safety in a world that doesn't always feel gentle.

I didn't set out to start a business. I started by making something with my hands and my heart, unsure of where it would lead. There were doubts, small steps, and moments where I questioned if it would ever become more than just an idea.

But there were people — my very first customers — who believed in me before this had a name. They trusted me, supported me, and gave this dream its first real breath. Because of them, this didn't stay small.

Built with love and real support.

Through all of it, my husband stood beside me — supporting me not just emotionally, but in real, tangible ways. He helped carry the financial weight when things were just beginning, worked through the logistics with me, and built the website that gave this business a home. When I wasn't sure this could be real, he helped make it real.

And behind me, in the foundation of everything I do, is my family. My dad gave me the drive to create with my hands and taught me how to work with measurements. My mom taught me how to sew and opened her home to me as a workspace when I needed it most. My brother brings honesty that keeps me grounded and helps me see through the eyes of a younger generation.

More than something you wear.

Each cloak I make still carries that beginning. The care, the uncertainty, the hope — and the gratitude for the people who helped me take that first step.

These cloaks are made to bring warmth, comfort, and a quiet sense of safety — like something steady you can wrap around yourself when you need it most.

This is more than a cloak. It's a beginning. And it continues with you.

Owner & Architect

Tony

The business mind behind MABG. Tony handles strategy, operations, and every system that makes sure your cloak reaches you perfectly — from the first order to the wax-sealed package at your door.

Seamstress & Creative Visionary

Miki

The hands and vision behind every cloak. Miki designs, cuts, and sews each piece — making decisions about drape, weight, and finish that no pattern book could teach. What drives her most is the desire to help people however she can. She imagined someone out in the cold and knew her skills could make a real difference. That purpose shapes every cloak she makes — and as MABG grows, so does her vision to give back and keep more people warm.

Because they should be rare. And because giving back matters.

Because Miki sews them by hand. Because the first run of anything is a document — proof that something began. Ten cloaks, ten numbered cards, ten people who were here first. When they're gone, they're gone.

And as we grow, so does our commitment to giving back. For every Founders Edition cloak sold, we donate a cloak to someone who needs warmth. Miki started making cloaks because she imagined helping someone out in the cold — and that mission is baked into everything we do. The bigger MABG gets, the more people we can help.

The Cloaks

The Fleece Cloak is 100% anti-pill fleece — soft, warm, perfect for conventions and everyday wear. It comes in 8 colors. The Towel Cloak is 100% cotton terry cloth — plush, absorbent, built for the beach. It comes in white.

Tides of Folklore · An Immersive Reading Experience

The Ancient Waters

Kelpies · Sirens · Undines · Rusalki · Ningyo

Dive into the ancient waters where selkies shed their skins and mermaids sing sailors to their fates. This is not a page you read — it is a sea you enter.

Of the North Atlantic

Selkies

Shape-shifters of the North Atlantic — seals who shed their skins to walk as humans, forever torn between two worlds.

Selkies originate primarily from Scottish (Orkney and Shetland) and Irish folklore. The term derives from the Scots word for seal. In legend, selkies are seals who can shed their skins to become human.

The most common story involves a man who finds a female selkie's seal skin, forcing her to marry him. Though she may bear children and live as a human, she inevitably returns to the sea once she recovers her skin. Male selkies also appear in folklore, often depicted as alluring figures who visit lonely women.

Folklorists have proposed several theories for the origin of selkie legends, including misidentification of marine animals, encounters with seal-hunting cultures, and symbolic interpretations of coastal life. In many communities, killing seals was considered taboo, as they were sometimes believed to house human souls.

Films such as The Secret of Roan Inish (1994), Ondine (2009), and Song of the Sea (2014) draw heavily from traditional Scottish and Irish selkie legends. These adaptations frequently center on family, loss, and the call of the ocean.

Selkies continue to appear in contemporary film, literature, and folklore-inspired media. Modern portrayals often emphasize themes of longing, transformation, identity, and the tension between land and sea.

Of Every Sea

Mermaids

Sirens of every sea — from the ancient Syrian goddess Atargatis to the rusalkas of Slavic waters, they haunt every coastline.

Mermaid-like figures appear in some of the earliest recorded mythologies. The Syrian goddess Atargatis (circa 1000 BCE) is often cited as one of the earliest mermaid figures.

In Greek mythology, sirens were originally bird-women but were later conflated with fish-tailed beings during the medieval period. European folklore includes Melusine, a woman cursed with a serpent or fish tail.

Across Africa, the water spirit Mami Wata is frequently depicted as a mermaid-like figure. In Japan, ningyo legends describe human-fish beings whose flesh could grant immortality. Slavic traditions include rusalkas, water spirits associated with drowned maidens.

Throughout history, mermaids have symbolized beauty, danger, prophecy, temptation, and the mystery of the sea.

Mermaids remain one of the most globally recognized mythological beings. Modern depictions are heavily influenced by Hans Christian Andersen's 1837 fairy tale The Little Mermaid and its later adaptations, including the 1989 animated film by Disney.
