Today, over 135 years later, The Chicago Embroidery Company continues to produce high quality emblems for customers large and small, throughout the world.
This is a rare glimpse at the early days of The Chicago Embroidery Company. Founded as the first embroidery company in Chicago, the firm crafted and manufactured Swiss Embroidery products which were popular at the time for home decorations, clothing, and other accessories. These photos capture what life was like in a Chicago factory around the years of 1900-1910.
A view into the daily work life at Chicago Embroidery Company. We operated two factories with over 90 employees running three shifts. Our emblems were made using Swiss Schiffely looms with a few German made looms.
Our team is dedicated to making this process as easy as possible. Every order is custom priced to bring you the lowest price possible.
