Manhattan Lace Endures As Local Embroidery Shrinks
A Bergen Hudson corridor embroidery cluster once held 400 firms and 500 million dollars in annual revenue. Today Manhattan Lace clings to niche work for smaller buyers while aging 100 year old looms stay in a family run shop. Merhige leads a lean operation with 4 staff plus aging machines. The firm sells venise lace for sleepwear and counts work for Oman as demand shifts away from mass production.
