Adam Brand is the 4th generation co-owner of M&S Schmalberg the flower makers in New York. M&S Schmalberg, founded in 1916, is the last remaining manufacturer of artificial flowers in the New York City garment district. Using the same vintage manufacturing process since 1916, they provide exquisite quality and a level of artisanal customization that is not that easy to come by anymore.
Some of their vintage flower moulds date back to the turn of the century. Their studio is amazing, it is like going back in time to when personal customer service was the forefront of any artisanal company. Aside from seeing thousands of amazing flowers you can meet the makers whose pride in their work is phenomenal, as is Adam’s passion for what he does.
