I love their space and ways how to treat their customers. The staffs are very nice and helpful. It is a great store. If you do deal with fashion business, you must go!

Pretty great place! Pricey!!! I mean they’re located on 6th ave so they have to jack up the prices so they can pay the rent. They always have a cool selection of buttons, patches, and ribbons mostly. They have very nice trims but of course those come at a very hefty cost. This place is nice if you’re looking for something specific and you don’t have time to wonder the garment district. To be honest this place used to be better but they kind of got rid of a lot of merchandise. Too bad… Still recommend Tho

Of the many similar stores in the area, this place stands out because of its wide selection of rare yet reasonably-​priced ribbons, trimmings and gorgeous crystals. My favorite aspect of the store, however, is the customer service. On a recent visit, I was fortunate enough to be helped by Yulia, who was very knowledgeable and welcoming. I was also helped by Claribel, who cheerfully went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that I was able to purchase the exact rare ribbon that I had been searching for. All in all, the prime location, unique inventory and superb customer service make M & J Trimming my favorite store. Keep up the good work!

I stumbled upon this store heading home. I use to order random things here and there from the website since I’m not from the area. The selections were phenomenal and the prices weren’t bad either. The staff is a hit or miss which can ruin the shopping experience. Luckily the employee at the front register was very friendly and efficient.

M&J is by far the best selection of quality trims that you can find in NYC. Being a designer appreciate their variety of options and the quality of their items.
It was a great surprise for me to find their «hidden treasure» in the back of the store! Their bridal salon has an amazing selection of items from veils, trims, appliqués to accessories.
A big thank you to Colin for helping me explore my options. I am extremely indecisive person when it comes to options but he was so patient and helpful with me. His knowledge of the industry, styles, trends were of big help!
I would highly recommend for brides to check out their accessory selection! I know I will be sending brides to the M&J Bridal Salon.

I needed some help for a small project and Colin was so helpful. He listened and helped me find just what I needed. Very professional. I highly recommend shopping here.

NEVER in my life have I been outright disrespected and belittle in my entire life. I’m a young 20 year old girl and I was trying to figure out how much leather trimming I needed and I was trying to figure out the dimensions and the conversion of inches to yards. I simply asked a sales associate how much I need and she said that I’m an idiot for not knowing basic math and that she wouldn’t help me until I figured it out. Then I got lectured for not being able to live in this world without knowing math! Is she kidding? Proper etiquette and being nice to people is rule number one! I felt myself defending my stellar 4.0 gpa. I give it two stars and not one because they do have an amazing and organized collection of goods. If you’re willing to take a beating go here if not skip it and go to another place around the block.

I came into M&J with two friends for their bridal accessory salon. It was a wonderful experience. We were very fortunate to meet Colin who was beyond helpful and knowledgeable. He helped me find the perfect belt to go with my dress. Colin was very patient and really wanted to help me find what would go best with my dress. He even helped us pick out ribbon for the sash that went PERFECTLY with the dress.
Overall, the experience I had at M&J was great and would recommend anyone to their bridal section here!

Never in my life has someone been so rude — my friend was trying to buy a sample of ribbon and when the — I can’t even call him a gentleman — COLIN — in the back misquoted a calculation for it and I corrected him and had to go back recalculated it and then realized he was wrong, he said, «oh, it’s too early in the morning to argue.» Hello, it’s someone just trying to buy a sample of something — chill out and get over yourself. Last time I’m spending money here — and trust me — I’ve had plenty of brides spend plenty.
Find somewhere else where they learned some customer etiquette and manners before NOON.
Disgusted.

Great place to buy embellishment, ribbons, buttons, & trimmings because of their huge selection. Small beads selection. The prices are a little on the high side.

Do not go here if you require any assistance at all. The staff are rude and act like they do not want to be there. Walked out after attempting to speak to multiple Sales Associates.

M& J Trimming is one of my creative spaces. I am not an aspiring seamstress or designer but I love coming here and creating fun beautiful projects with the gorgeous materials.
Fabric Glue, Sequins and so much lace! I adore lace and never miss the opportunity to add it when possible. The iron ons are cool but my favorite are the flowers patterns. The flower iron on patterns work well with plain summer dresses. I even purchased sequins one year and embellished plain boots. I received many compliments from strangers every time I wore them.
Lastly, the staff are helpful and I think the prices are just right for the quality items sold here. So take some time and make a leisurely stop to M&J Trimmings and let your mind wonder. :)

Boy are they nice in there! A little patience waiting my turn can go far… Got Xmas ribbons in a variety of reds and a big fluffy pompom to hang from my purse. Just the items I needed, ok, ok, I wanted. I will definitely go back.

Five stars!
Came in 5 minutes before closing & bought one tiny rhinestone.
Bill came out $ 0.45 total and I was given receipt & thanked several times by the sweet smiling owner with the highest courtesy possible.
Employee even opened the door for me — BOTH in and out.
Flawless customer service. So kind!!!

Great place for all of your sewing needs. I needed grommets but they didn’t have the punch to go with the size. It can be expensive depending what you buy, but great place if you’re looking for a variety of sewing and crafting supplies.

I just bought my wedding veil and headpiece from them. It was expensive about 300 for a two tier double ribbon edged veil and about 550 for my headpiece, an elaborate tiara esq thing from a London designer. I have no idea if it was the most economical option. But the salesgirl was very nice and the pieces I bought were beautiful. If I overpaid I can live with it. Will update when my veil comes in!
Veil came in, everything was perfect.

The place must be like heaven for those who design and are into sewing. From my inexperienced point of view, they had everything, every color, every material, etc.
I came in here specifically to find straps to add to my wedding gown and for the bridal section. The bridal section is located at the back of the store. It has some gorgeous veils, jewelry, shoe, head pieces, and strap/​waist pieces. However, they’re extremely overpriced! A yard of the material that I liked cost close to $ 150, c’mon man! Jewelry, I understand being expensive. But I found the same exact veils and headpieces for much much much cheaper in other stores. Thanks, but no thanks. I got my straps, headpiece, and jewelry else where.

I went here during my lunch hour on an errand with my cousin, she needed to find an appliqué for shoes. She had a picture reference to show the attendant and he really helped on finding us the next best thing and he saved us money in doing so. We also were able to use the 10% Unilocal deal which was great!
It is so colorful in this store and it is well-​maintained. The staff does a really terrific job of keeping everything orderly. The pieces and ribbons are so small and can easily be your worst nightmare but they are really great at keeping everything in place.
I don’t have that many reasons to go here as if arts and crafts in kindergarten was graded I would’ve definitely flunked, but if I ever get really inspired (and this is probably due to Pinterest) I now know where I can find the details.

I walked by this place many times, never giving it any thought. After all, what the hell are trimmings and why would I care? I know, growing up with a father in the shmata business, I probably should know better. And I guess, in the back of my head, I kinda knew what to expect.
Anyway, after over indulging a bit, one of my shirt collars was feeling a little tight. I had a chubby kid memory of once owning something called a «neck extender,» but had no idea where one would buy such a thing. I called a few places and nobody had them in stock (even though I was told by several stores that I was not the first person that day to inquire about this item… good to know I’m not the only fat ass in nyc). So it turns out M&J stocks these collar extenders and I ended up buying it from them. After laundering a shirt many times, some shrinking can occur, when this happens these little guys come in handy… or you can just go on a diet.
