Mano's Material Creations
Custom Embroidery & Signature Apparel
Two creative minds turn their love of fabric and design into a venture to make unique and stylish fashions.
After learning that designer fabrics were simply discarded after post-production of the textiles, two friends, Jacquie and Florence, coordinated their efforts with a friendly manufacturer to save these
beautiful materials from landfills and convert them into fashionable, recycled pieces.
Today, Jacquie and Florence, who both own embroidery and sewing shops in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, respectively, collect the discarded fabrics and turn them into wearable works of art such as jackets, quilts, and handbags. Each finished piece is a patchwork of gracefully matched high-end fabric which is assembled to produce a unique and detailed item.
Since the supply of fabric is ever-changing, no two finished pieces are ever the same. Items are custom-ordered by style and color choice or from a hand-selected stash of materials. Women who appreciate
tailor-made apparel turn to Mixed Threads for unique and stylish fashions and accessories.
