NY Post + More

The NY Post – We’re excited to share that M&S Schmalberg was recently featured in the New York Post! The article highlights our rich history, the artistry behind our handcrafted fabric flowers, and how we continue to thrive as the last remaining artificial flower maker in New York’s Garment District.

For over 100 years, our family-owned business has created custom fabric blooms for top fashion houses, red carpet events, and even film and television productions. The piece showcases some of our most notable collaborations, from the Met Gala and Bridgerton to luxury brands like Tory Burch, Hermès, and Oscar de la Renta.

We’re honored to be recognized for keeping this craft alive and grateful for everyone who supports our work. Check out the full article here: Read on the NY Post

Sew & So Podcast – In addition to our recent feature in the New York Post, I had the pleasure of being a guest on the Sew & So podcast! This episode takes a deep dive into the history of M&S Schmalberg, our family’s 109-year-old fabric flower business, and the craft that keeps us going today.

We talk about everything—from how my great-great uncles started the company in 1916 to how my grandfather Harold’s resilience shaped its legacy. I also share my personal journey of embracing the “Flower Man” title, the intricate process behind our handcrafted blooms, and the incredible places our flowers have appeared—on celebrities, in Hollywood productions, and even on Bridgerton.

If you’re curious about the behind-the-scenes magic of our workshop, the craftsmanship behind each flower, and the passion that has kept us going for generations, you won’t want to miss this episode.
