30+ years of experience. One pair of hands. 🙌

There’s something special about watching someone who has spent decades perfecting their craft.

Here’s one of our skilled craftsmen preparing a sunburst pleating mold, a process that requires patience, precision and years of hands on experience.

This is the craftsmanship behind Twins Pleating & Smocking in Los Angeles since 1995.

Sometimes the stitch does all the talking.

A closer look at one of our specialty zig zag stitches in action. Old machinery, skilled hands and decades of textile know how in Los Angeles.

Turn the sound up. 🔊

Ever seen a hot dog stitch being made? 👀

One of the specialty stitches still running through our shop. Old machine, skilled hands and a stitch you don’t see every day.

Turn the sound up. 🔊

Built in Massachusetts in 1982. Still working in Los Angeles today. 🇺🇸

Our Chandler combination pleating machine is over 40 years old. Regular maintenance and skilled hands keep these American made machines doing what they were built to do.

44 years later, still making pleats.

A whole lot of possibilities in one picture.

Pleating, smocking and novelty treatments developed for one of our clients.

Bring us an idea. We’ll help you figure out how to make it.

Same honeycomb pleat. Completely different side. 👀

One pattern can create two very different textures. Which side would you use?

Appreciate the feature from @thebrandworksmarket 🙌

Pleating and smocking can go far beyond the expected. We love helping designers explore what’s possible with texture, shape and movement.

Made in Los Angeles since 1995.
