Mei C.

Created this pop-up event page for their initial opening week in the beginning of September~therefore the experience might be a tad different than other reviewers. The wait time on the line was roughly about 1.5 hours, though there were people camping out in tents since the early hours. The first 300 guests in line were given complimentary Woobles crochet kits (regular priced $30~$40). The packaged kits include yarn, crocheting needle, charm, and a QR card to scan with crocheting tutorial videos. I found out my child took an interest in this crafty art. Might purchase more cute characters in the future

M&J Trimming - The end of an era, M&J Trimmings was one of the main purveyors of novelty sewing notions in the garment district since 1938

M&J is one of those garment district institutions that's been around for nearly 90 years. They've…read morealways been one of the larger stores with a very broad assortment of sewing and design accessories--everything from hundreds of ribbons (may thousands), trims, decals, rhinestones, fabrics, supportive inner garment materials, buttons, hair/costume jewelry components, the list goes on. Agree with some other reviews in that it's one of the pricier stores though you pay for the wide variety--hard to beat their selection. The course of time hasn't been kind to local production. Back in the 1820s up until the early 1980s, when mass garment production stateside was booming in NYC, the garment district employed up to 46% of the city's industrial workforce. There was a need to design and purchase materials nearby, and the majority of Manhattan's midtown west side was dedicated to factories and design studios. Fast fwd to now, that statistic is much different and given the availability of online and global sources, not everyone needs to go into a physical store to purchase their needs. While many products have long moved to overseas sourcing, for anyone who's endeavored DIY arts and crafts, or even made any functional product by hand, it's much different seeing and feeling a material in person than on a screen. That's where in this past century, stores like M&J played a vital role in the fabric of the garment district. They are also a valuable resource to the numerous design students at FIT, Parsons, etc. During past decade many a longtime stalwart trim store have disappeared from the neighborhood and M&J is the latest casualty. If you are interested in sewing or design notions, now's your chance to pick up items at their going-out-of-business sale.
