He learned the artistry of hand-making flowers from his father, Warren, better known as &#8220;The Flower Man.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The fabric flower factory, located in the heart of New York&#8217;s Garment District, is one of a kind.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s special. It really is special. First of all, what&#8217;s made in America these days? From your glasses to your shoes, you know, what&#8217;s made in America? And here we are, not only made in America, but made in New York City,&#8221; Warren told &#8220;CBS Mornings&#8221; in an interview that aired Thursday.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>&#8220;We&#8217;re the last of this art&#8221;<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-large\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/11\/27\/64f2aa8d-7afa-41e2-b840-2a918ebf3372\/thumbnail\/620x349\/b93d27156805e163ea9574830b7e3c96\/screenshot-2025-11-27-at-9-38-45-am.png#\" alt=\"screenshot-2025-11-27-at-9-38-45-am.png \" height=\"349\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/11\/27\/64f2aa8d-7afa-41e2-b840-2a918ebf3372\/thumbnail\/620x349\/b93d27156805e163ea9574830b7e3c96\/screenshot-2025-11-27-at-9-38-45-am.png 1x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Fourth-generation co-owner of M&amp;S Schmalberg, Adam Brand, and his father, Warren.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                CBS Mornings<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When the company started in 1916, there were over 400 feather and flower manufacturers in the U.S.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Today, we are the last flower manufacturer. So how unique are we? We&#8217;re the last of this art; the last of this craft,&#8221; Adam said.<\/p>\n<p>As the industry has migrated to overseas production, M&amp;S Schmalberg continues to defy the odds in the U.S., producing more than 100,000 floral elements in a year. They create each unique design by starching a piece of fabric, stiffening them, then die-cutting them using vintage dies, which creates a flat cutout petal. Then they emboss them using old irons and assemble them by hand.<\/p>\n<p>At the 2022 Met Gala, the company created flowers for 17 different celebrities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;ve made flowers for celebrities such as Jenna Ortega, Olivia Rodrigo, Beyonc\u00e9, Anne Hathaway, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Rihanna. And have been sought out by fashion&#8217;s most renowned designers like the father-daughter duo Gilles Mendel and daughter, Chlo\u00e9 Mendel Corgan.<\/p>\n<p>But the family isn&#8217;t seeking fame for the brand. They say personal projects and heirlooms have the most lasting impact.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Your kids grow up. You have their clothing that doesn&#8217;t fit anymore. Maybe you donate it. Maybe you leave it in a box and you just look at it and cry once a month. Make a bouquet out of it,&#8221; Adam suggested. &#8220;They&#8217;ll have it forever. More than anything, I love those projects.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>M&amp;S Schmalberg&#8217; is determined to keep this dying craft alive, with family at the root of the business.<\/p>\n<p>When asked what Warren wants people to understand about the legacy of the family business, he replied, &#8220;That we&#8217;re here. That we love doing what we do, and it&#8217;s a family here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside
