Faraj Beading is a U.S. manufacturer and studio specializing in beading, pearls, crystals, laser-cut trims, and decorative components for women's garments. We focus on garment parts such as sleeves, collars, cuffs, bodices, and trims rather than fully assembled garments.

We are based in Paterson, New Jersey, one of the historic centers of U.S. garment manufacturing.

We primarily work B2B with designers, brands, and manufacturers, but we also sell select trims and materials to individuals through platforms like Etsy and on our website.

ALL of Faraj Beading's production is proudly Made in the USA with precision craftsmanship, high-quality materials, and using ethical work labor.

Yes! Because of our patented thread-less technique, our trims are designed to be cut easily without unraveling. You can trim to any length needed for your project.

The adhesive is extremely strong and designed for pretty much any craft applications. For long-term use on fabric, we recommend reinforcing with a few stitches.

Light repositioning is possible immediately after application. Once fully pressed and set, the bond becomes more permanent.
