About ADG Boston

 

Welcome to ADG Boston, where craftsmanship meets modern style, and every piece tells a story.

Rooted in tradition and designed for today, ADG Boston is inspired by the legacy of Alfano Dry Goods, a family-run textile shop established in East Boston in 1921. What began as a haven for makers and artisans seeking quality fabrics has evolved into a brand that honors the past while embracing the future.

Founded by Mary (Alfano) Judge, a multi-disciplinary artist and designer, ADG Boston blends artistry, sustainability, and timeless craftsmanship. Every design reflects a deep appreciation for texture, color, and the way clothing can make you feel—confident, comfortable, and effortlessly stylish.

Our collections are made for those who appreciate quality, versatility, and a connection to something meaningful—whether it’s a jacket inspired by the vibrant colors of nature or your favorite sports team, a shirt crafted for movement and expression, or a piece that simply becomes a favorite in your wardrobe.

At ADG Boston, we believe in sustainable fashion with purpose, using responsibly made, print-on-demand production to reduce waste while ensuring every garment is made with care.

This is more than clothing—it’s a continuation of a family tradition, reimagined for the modern explorer, artist, and thinker.

Join us as we build a brand that’s bold, intentional, and always evolving.

Welcome to ADG Boston—wear the story.

Alfano Dry Goods is a heartfelt tribute to my grandfather, Frank Alfano, who established a haven for textile enthusiasts in East Boston back in 1921. (Check out this epic photo of him in his store!)

As with all of our life journeys, experiences shape us. My path has deepened my love for patterns found throughout millennia and the natural world. Whether I'm using my photographs, drawings, or digital creations, I strive to create patterns that perfectly complement a specific style of clothing. 

Using print-on-demand manufacturing, I can offer a wider range of patterns, while keeping up with sustainable practices. My process echoes the wisdom of my favorite punk rock fashion icon, Vivienne Westwood: "You can't have innovation without tradition."

Thank you for visiting my 21st-century dry goods store and for supporting a woman-owned small business!

With heart,

Mary Judge
