The tour begins at 10:30 am in our NYC showroom where you will be surrounded by floral creations and briefly learn the history of our company.  We will then proceed through the factory and show you the step by step process of how any piece of fabric can become a "custom fabric flower".  One of the unique aspects of our factory tour is that we are always working on new projects with designers so you never know what (or who) you are going to see!  Anyone interested in a behind the scenes look in the fashion industry is sure to enjoy themselves.  You are welcome to take pictures in our factory.
