The Gerriets sewing room
Our seamstresses, some of whom have decades of experience, use all the tricks of the trade to produce everything from gold leaf-covered decorative curtains, huge ceiling sails, velour hangings, grommets and nettle fabrics, stretch materials and round horizons for the Metropolitan Opera in New York.
