Before the reveal comes the work. 🌈

A beautiful gradient of red, orange and yellow fabric being carefully prepared for pleating.

From positioning the fabric and securing the mold to bringing every fold together, there’s a lot of precision behind the process.

A little color, a little rhythm and a whole lot of craftsmanship.

The next generation of designers. 🧵✨

We had the pleasure of welcoming Professor Diana Avetyan Diana Avetyan and her students from the University of Redlands, Los Angeles to Twins Pleating & Smocking.

As they explore fabric manipulation and pleating, we shared a closer look at the techniques, preparation and craftsmanship behind our work.

It’s always rewarding to see the next generation taking an interest in traditional textile techniques.

Thank you, Professor Avetyan and the University of Redlands, for the visit!

Proudly made in Los Angeles since 1995.

Sometimes a little stitching creates a whole lot of dimension. 🖤

Watch as flat fabric takes on a completely different look through specialty tucking.

The curves, the texture, the movement. It’s these little details that can transform a design.

Some machines have their own rhythm. 🔊

A little mechanical ASMR from our combination pleating machine.

The gears, the movement, the sound. Just another day inside our Los Angeles pleating shop.

From flat fabric to perfectly spaced folds. ✨

Watch these fabric strips transform into fine knife pleats, one fold at a time.

It’s a small detail that can make a big difference in fashion, accessories and decorative trims.

A little geometry. A lot of texture. 🍯

Our honeycomb pleating creates a beautiful dimensional pattern that changes with every angle of light.

Sometimes a single photograph says more than a whole video.

How many needles do you see? 👀🧵

Our multi needle smocking machines work with dozens of needles simultaneously, creating rows of elastic stitching that transform ordinary fabric into something completely different.

Take a closer look. Can you guess how many needles are working here?
