Company Focus: Tinsel Trading Co., NYC, NY

Tinsel Trading Company is one of the jewels in the Garment District's crown. I gather that the world at large knows them thanks to the enthusiastic patronage of Martha Stewart; costumers know them for their stellar reputation and history of dealing in rare, vintage, antique, and no-longer-produced trimmings, including metal-thread trims for military braid. They do solicit mail-orders off their website for many of their items, but of course some of the rare and limited-quantity stuff can only be found browsing the store.

Tinsel has been having a month-long moving sale, as they are relocating to a new facility at 1 West 37th Street; this week is the last week before they close to move, and the deals in there are unspeakably great.
