Our company was founded in 1998 by Joann Albrizio-Simon, a graduate of the Fashion Institute and veteran of the New York City garment center. JoAnn originally began creating embroidered and beaded pillows for her own home, before realizing that nobody else in the interior design industry offered anything comparable. From there, the vision for her company became clear — to use her extensive fashion experience to design unique pillows and premium soft goods for interior designers and retailers.

She was the first to embroider onto a pillow — an innovation now widely imitated throughout the industry — and quickly drew clients from around the country who were eager to begin incorporating these unique new goods into their projects.

Today, JJ&J provides premium pillows and soft goods under private-label contract to some of the most iconic American interior brands, as well as custom and one-off projects directly to prestigious designers and decorators throughout the country.

JJ&J is renowned for our extraordinary quality of work and customer service. All products are hand-made right here in the United States by skilled artisans, to the exacting standards set by JoAnn herself. These old-world methods are indeed dying art, which we are proud to keep alive.

Our current business is to the trade only, and welcome any inquiries from designers, decorators, or retailers.
