The famous Rick & Rack, resident cats at Daytona Trimming. Rack passed away last winter, but Rick is patiently waiting for you to stop by and browse all the ribbons.
Writing this post has taken me a long time, mostly because I have so much to say and so many photos to share. My love of Manhattan’s Garment District trimming stores knows no bounds - I simply cannot get enough! I moved to NYC in 2006, and spent many an afternoon in midtown, running errands for my internship at Diane von Furstenberg, and occasionally picking up a bag of sequins or a couple yards of cheap fabric for myself, as I was sewing a lot back then, too.
Since then, the Garment District has changed a lot - sometimes for the good, for example Project Runway injected a lot of life into Mood, which carried over into surrounding shops. Due to Covid, the area is struggling and many businesses are not going to survive rent hikes and fewer customers. So if you make it to the city, spread some love (money!) around.

I’m going to dive right in with lots of information and love for each of these shops. This is not an all inclusive list, rather, these are my favorite shops, that I pop into with regularity, where I know I can find what I am looking for. There are other shops too, and if you are in the Garment District, I encourage you to poke your nose into any shop that you find appealing as you pass by. (Click on any of the photos to enlarge.)
If you use this guide or find it helpful in any way, please like this post and/or leave a comment below! The additional engagement really boosts my credibility when I ask to take photos and ask questions. It truly helps me to make more of this kind of guide.
Additionally, you can now send me a “tip” via my Ko-fi account. This helps me offset the costs of creating content and keeps this blog ad free! Thank you so much.

I’ll be starting here and “walking” east on this Midtown roundup. Up first, let’s pop in to M&J. If you are visiting New York from out of town, this is a good place to begin your Trim Adventure. The store is spacious and organized, and it’s clear how to go about having trim cut, as the shop is set up more like a traditional haberdashery. Employees stand behind counters or at set stations, and will pull trims off the wall for you (though you may also do so yourself), measure them, and put them into bags with barcodes, which you take to the front when you are ready to pay.
The layout of M&J has changed a few times over the last few years, but it is always organized. They have an authentic Swarovski counter, a large selection of every kind of ribbon, a full rainbow of pompom trims, and a large selection of home decor trims. All the way at the back is a small room dedicated to buttons. While I tend to head here for ribbon, I found the buttons I used on my red winter coat here, and I cannot imagine a better button.
If you enjoy the thrill of the hunt, you will love B&Q. Slow down, relax into the experience. The focus here is on decorative trims: plastic rhinestones by the pound, Austrian crystals and crystal trim sold by weight (many of these are behind the counter), feathers, ribbons, soutache, sequins, beads, all different kinds of iron on patches. Do you need to make a tiara? A little fascinator to perch on your head? They have those supplies.

Organized, just very tightly packed, with catergories spillling into each other. Ribbons and lace are at the back of the shop. Take your time browsing because they have good stuff! Don’t be nervous to go into a weird little corner, all the nooks are full of merchandise. Brand new trims are mixed in with vintage deadstock items you won’t find elsewhere. Once you find something you like, you will need to locate someone to help you - likely near the central cash wrap. If you have multiple selections, they will assist you with everything all at once. They are super friendly, so if you can’t find something, just ask, and they will direct you to another part of the shop.
Just down the street from B&Q, you will find East Coast Trimming. As soon as you step through the front door, into the dimly lit shop, you are transported. Are you in Paris? Is it another decade? Are you Amelie?
The reason this shop is so fantastical is because they have one of the most comprehensive ribbon collections on the planet: in 2014 they became home to all Hyman Hendler Ribbon, a brand established in 1900. The staff is extremely knowledgable. If you need to color match a fabric or existing trim, or if you are looking for something very specific or historically accurate, they will show you where to look. The selection is unrivaled: every possible grosgrain stripe, bias cut hand painted silk habutai ribbons, fine laces wrapped on pink paper spools, silk flowers, fancy buttons; many of them in cabinets behind glass (ask for assistance). It is mind-boggling and intoxicating. The back of the shop is dedicated to bridal, many of these trims and laces are deadstock or vintage. Everything is gorgeous.

East Coast has the finest quality and prices to match. It’s more expensive than other shops but you will understand why. It should also be noted, when the Japanese trim supplier Mokuba closed up shop in early 2013 (it was located across the street), East Coast took some of their inventory. They also have reasonably priced pre-cuts of trims (spool ends), that are hard to resist.
Lauren Trimming is the sister store of Joyce Trimming, which closed early this year (ugh, 2020). Joyce was located directly across the street from B&Q and was one of my haunts since 2006 - the sequin wall was a huge draw for me! When I saw Joyce was closed, I beelined for Lauren. Luckily, over the last few months, they appear to be slowly inheriting Joyce’s inventory. Here you will find: tasseled trims, stretch and non-stretch lace, the sequin wall is back (!!!), and what I’ll call novelties: purse handles (a slightly weirder variety than elsewhere, which you know I adore), iron on patches, novelty belt buckles, feather boas - sort of random bits & bobs that you’re gonna need at some point. You can buy buttons and thread here, as well as Austrian crystals and hot pink marabou trim. You’ll find everything on your shopping list, plus something you never expected.
This store is exciting! The colors are bright, the materials are fantastical, and the music is bumping. Hai caters to costume makers for events like the annual West Indian Day Parade in Brooklyn (a really fun parade to attend btw, if you’re not into dancing, get yourself a nutcracker & some jerk chicken). They have every imaginable material available if you need to create six foot wide neon feathered wings, or a custom rhinestoned bra. If you’re not quite that adventurous, I personally guarantee your eyeballs will be dazzled by the astounding assortment of rhinestone trims, sew on stones (no, you’ve never seen ones like these), chains, rhinestone appliques, feathers, and bedazzled lace fabric by the yard. They have counters for Austrian glass rhinestones. The staff is very helpful and welcoming.

This shop is my go-to for: Rhinestones of all kinds - I’ve bought opaque neon sew on plastic ones, and Austrian glass.
Y’all I’m gonna do my best to keep this brief. There will absolutely be a stand alone post for this store later. I’ll start by saying, if you only have time to go to one trim store while you are in midtown, and you must get all the notions on your list for finishing multiple projects: go to Pacific. In 2018-19, Pacific got a huge facelift - they completely renovated the interior of the store and expanded. The new shop is huge, very well organized, and has pretty much whatever you need to finish a project. The button selection is tremendous. Hardware, belt buckles, chains, studs, they’ve got em. Fabric dye, notions, bag making supplies….I honestly can’t think of something they
Pacific has an expansive selection of elastic. Pretty much any kind of elastic your heart could desire. They carry RiRi zippers and will customize the length and the way it opens - buy your zipper, and when you purchase, let them know you need it shortened and with two pulls, and they’ll get the job done. (If you’d like this service but prefer YKK brand zippers, head to SIL Thread down the block - I’ll be covering them in a post about notions shops.)
