From customized leather key chains to high end tote bags,
the products are manufactured by two companies that share one factory in
Melville.
For this
week's "Made on Long Island," News 12's Jenn Seelig takes you inside
the facility where everything is made from luxurious leather.
Starting
off as a diary company in 1969 -
Graphic Image is a family-owned business in
Melville.
Flipping through the decades, the company grew into a home
line that manufactures customized leather books, planners, accessories,
including photo frame backs -- creating products for popular high-end brands.
About 12 years ago, Tom Glazer, president of Graphic Image
introduced a new fashion brand to his family business.
GiGi New York, a
designer handbag company, a separate brand, that shares the same factory as
Graphic Image. Clutches, crossbody bags, and totes - each purse is designed,
stitched, and shipped from the Melville factory.
