Thread Social at Jake

Thread Social

Melissa Akey, lead designer for Thread Social made an appearance at an exclusive party hosted by Chicago’s Jake boutiques on Thursday, July 12th and Friday, July 13th. The evening was a celebration of the stores third anniversary and the grand opening of their newest location in Chicago’s North Shore. The festivities ran from 6-9 pm, Thursday at the Gold Goast store located at 939 North Rush St., and Friday at the North Shore location at 565 Lincoln Ave.  

The invite-only party gave Jake clients the opportunity to meet with Akey to customize a piece from Thread Social’s holiday and resort collections. Customers could pair limited stock fabrics with Thread’s best-selling dress patterns to create
one-of-a-kind items.

Thread Social was launched in 2006 as a bridesmaids line, but their modern styles and expert tailoring received wide
acclaim and they quickly expanded into ready-to-wear items. Thread Social’s adorable jumpers, cocktail dresses, and printed shifts are ideal for transitioning from day to night and are the perfect solution for the city girl on the go.

Lance Lawson, co-owner of Jake said, “It is a pleasure to be hosting these exclusive in-store events with Ms. Akey.  More importantly, we are honored that she has chosen to appear at Jake and personally meet with our Chicago clientele.”
