PadloveBrooklyn Bridge, the vow suspended between two shores
Two names sealed above the East River, forever.
Between Manhattan and Brooklyn, its steel cables trace one of the most recognized silhouettes in the world. From this suspended walkway, the view sweeps toward the skyscrapers and the Statue of Liberty. It is a place made for great promises. Padlove lets you seal yours here: your lock, with both your names, without ever weighing on its railings.
The story of the place
Opened in 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge was one of the first steel-cable suspension bridges. Linking Manhattan to Brooklyn above the East River, it stood from the start as both a feat and a symbol, celebrated by engineers and by lovers who came to cross it on foot alike.
Its great taut cables and stone arches made it a legendary setting. From its walkway, the eye takes in the line of skyscrapers and, in the distance, the Statue of Liberty. Every year, couples from around the world come to walk it, the way one walks toward a promise meant to last.
For a long time, they hung love locks here. But the city removes them regularly for safety reasons: their weight and corrosion threaten the structure. The gesture, though, only asked to survive another way. That is exactly what Padlove offers: to carry the vow on without harming the bridge.
Why seal your love lock here
- Seal your vow on one of the most iconic bridges in the world, with both your names.
- Carry on the lovers' gesture where physical locks are now removed for safety reasons.
- A love lock that lives on the map and never on the cables: not a gram on the heritage.
On the Brooklyn Bridge, love locks are regularly removed by the city, because their weight threatens the structure. With Padlove, your promise weighs nothing and never ends up cut off: it stays legible, with both your names.
