One small South Bronx factory is keeping New York City\u2019s manufacturing spirit alive.<\/p>\n
Spoiled Rotten USA, a cut\u2011and\u2011sew operation that has been in business for 40 years, is now the last commercial sewing shop in the Bronx \u2014 and everything still happens under one roof.<\/p>\n
Owner and founder Eric Beroff says the company handles every step of the process: designing, drawing, pattern\u2011making, prototyping, cutting, sewing and final production. Major brands that seek high\u2011quality, American\u2011made apparel rely on the shop\u2019s craftsmanship.<\/p>\n
Up to 15 highly skilled workers handcraft products inside the facility, depending on the season. Each item passes through multiple inspections to ensure the quality Spoiled Rotten USA is known for. Even something as simple as a pillowcase gets meticulous attention \u2014 from stitching and zipper placement to hand\u2011pressed finishing.<\/p>\n
The shop produces everything from flannel shirts to dog apparel, tapping into what has become a $3 billion pet\u2011clothing industry.<\/p>\n
After four decades, Beroff admits it\u2019s emotional to look back. From selling a first sweatshirt that ended up in a Long Island store window, to now collaborating with both small creators and major designers, the journey has been anything but ordinary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One small South Bronx factory is keeping New York City\u2019s manufacturing spirit alive.
