Garment District Tour
Public tours feature an itinerary of tour stops chosen by the guide. For private tours, out-of-neighborhood locations (such as the site of the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire, or Lincoln Center, the current home of Fashion Week) can also be included.
This tour is ideal for fashion design and merchandising students, aspiring designers and stylists, avid seamstresses, Project Runway fans, and anyone interested in the history of the garment industry.
Working on a sewing project? If you're booking a private tour, please feel free to send us your shopping list in advance so that we can make sure to include appropriate stops on your shopping tour. Your guide can tell you which store is best for fine silks, which one sells crazy colored Velcro, and who'll cover buttons while you wait. In New York City, amazing resources abound. We guarantee you'll come home with top-notch supplies you won't find at your local fabric chain store!
RECOMMENDED TOUR LENGTH
Public tours last approximately 2-2.5 hours depending on group size. Recommended private tour length is 2 hours, although additional time (1-2 hours) is encouraged for those interested in spending significant time shopping in each store.
