Sunrise Studio

Fabric manufacturing in Midtown often feels like a quiet trade, tucked above the sidewalk bustle. Sunrise Studio keeps that tradition alive on the eighth floor of 257 W 39th St, where bolts of cotton, linen, and specialty synthetics become everything from custom upholstery panels to limited-run tote bags. The neighborhood still hums with garment workers and sample makers, so the address makes sense—close enough to designers who need small batches without overseas lead times.

They handle dyeing, cutting, and sewing under one roof, which can simplify production for anyone launching a soft-goods line. Pattern grading and digital printing are also part of the workflow, meaning a single order can move from concept to finished product without leaving the building. That kind of control appeals to independent labels and theater companies alike, both of which cluster nearby.

When samples are ready or minimums need adjusting, weave (212) 354-1877 into the call. Directions are straightforward: map. If the freight elevator’s slow, blame the century-old building—it’s the same one that once housed a button factory.
