It's All About Staying Local

Click here to hear Alex speak about their other company Pietro and the passion behind what they do!

When Clockworks Press first set out to begin manufacturing its first denim product it was absolutely essential that it happen locally and more importantly if possible in NYC's garment district. When I first contacted Alex Dabagh at Park Avenue International/Park Avenue Trimming on West 29th Street it was immediately evident that he had a true passion for everything he touched. Specializing in mostly leather products, I was unsure whether or not they would go for my small production of just 100 and not in leather, but in denim. Alex was happy to help and guide me through the process from sample to finish. This video shows Alex talking about his passion and the brand Pietro NYC that was started by his father, Pierre Dabagh in 1982.

This family driven business is filled with love and passion. When I picked up my samples, dropped off materials and finally when the first batch was completed I had a tingle go up my spine each and every time, I was living a dream, creating something I never phathomed possible. But Alex and his sister Alexa made it happen, If I had a moment of uncertainty the entire staff at Park Ave Trim knew how to handle it with ease. Each piece of denim I printed was carefully machine stitched one by one. I can't say enough amazing things about the team at Park, I am so truly grateful for their impeccable craftsmanship and love that is in each and every denim clutch they constructed for Clockworks Press. I am utterly grateful for this connection, which I hope will last a lifetime.
