New Shopping Category
M&J Trimming is proud to announce that we now have three new categories, Sew-on, Sequins and More. Here at M&J Trimming we strive to make a memorable shopping experience for all customers. Therefore, we have created these new categories in order to make your search easier for when you’re in need for these specific garment embellishments.
Within the “Sew-on” category, you’ll notice that we have recently added new items. We have also separated the sew-on jewels into multiple subcategories. Whether you’re in need of glass sew-on or shell sew-on, you’ll be sure to easy find what you are searching for.
Our other category is “Sequins”. For years, sequins have been quite popular on various garments. However, its’ popularity and demands have grown tremendously within the past couple of years. For this reason, M&J Trimming had decided that sequins deserved its’ very own category. You’ll be able to find items such as basic sequin trims to loose sequins and sequin-decorated appliqués.
Last, but not least, we have the “More” category. The title of the category may seem a bit odd and the decision did not come easily. After months of deliberation, we decided that this category would have items such as flower pins, chains, boas and more. Within this category you’ll be able to find unique embellishments and accessories.
We hope that the new category will assist in making your search easier when you’re looking for these items. We’ll keep you updated with more changes coming soon.
