Celebrate this immigrant family, creating hand made textile flowers for top designers of clothing and millinery since 1916. Still run by same family with the same creative, adaptive and resilient mindset attitude of their great grandparents.

I added this tour/business to my New York things to do list after I had read the NYT article in 2019 and also listened to a couple podcast episodes where Adam Brand, the 4th generation owner, was interviewed. I finally had the opportunity to go when I wasn't working as it's only open M-F, standard business hours. Pam greeted me and gave me a brief tour of the entire manufacturing process, and I was able to meet some of the other staff and learn what their specific roles were. After that, Pam let me discover all their wonderful stock and further observe how their wonderful items are created. I had perused their Etsy site prior with some ideas but instead found a couple other flowers that were not online and had them fashioned into pins. Highly recommend a visit here, even if you're not fashion focused, as it touches on global trade and competition, small business, family business, NYC history, etc. Pro tip-if you're looking for an affordable, one of a kind unique gift or souvenir, look at their expansive stock and select items to be made into brooches for blouses/dresses/coats, stick pins for suits/coat lapels or hairclips for all types of people. They will even include their label to make it even more special!
