For nearly a century, Scalamandré has been considered the definitive American authority on passementerie — and among design professionals, that reputation is hard-won and deeply deserved. Founded in New York in 1929 by Franco and Flora Scalamandré, the house built its name not only on extraordinary decor indoor fabrics as well as outdoor fabrics but on an unwavering commitment to the finishing details that elevate a room from beautiful to truly complete. Scalamandré passementerie has graced Hearst Castle, the White House, and some of the most celebrated interiors in American history — a testament to the brand's belief that the right trim isn't an afterthought, it is the signature. Scalamandré's trim collection spans the full breadth of passementerie, encompassing tassel fringe, brush fringe, bullion, cords, braids, gimps, and tapes across a vast range of scales, materials, and colorways.
Signature collections include the Novanta Passementerie line — introduced on the brand's 90th anniversary — featuring an array of cords, tassel fringe, brush fringe, braids, and bullion in couture-inspired palettes of nuanced pastels, jewel tones, wintry neutrals, and smoky hues, all colored to coordinate directly with Scalamandré's fabric offerings. The collection also includes named lines such as the Milady and Safari Passementerie series, alongside botanical tapes, animal print trims, and geometric gimps that reflect the brand's breadth of design vocabulary. An outdoor and performance trim category extends the offering to exterior applications, and the Scalamandré x The Met collaboration brings museum-caliber artistry to select passementerie styles. Applications span drapery, upholstery, pillows, and decorative accessories across residential, hospitality, and contract settings.
