THREAD is a carefully curated lifestyle boutique that brings a big city mindset to the midwest fashion oasis of Columbus, Ohio. Owner Miranda Boyle possessed a love of fashion from an early age, partly due to the influence of her stylish grandmother who, in Miranda’s words, “never wore the same outfit twice”. Miranda spent years in retail at big and small businesses, and as her career was blossoming, her family began to blossom as well. She made the choice to stay at home, but the spark for the worlds of retail and fashion never diminished. After 10 years at home with her kids and husband, she felt the itch to get back into the beloved field that she stepped away from a decade prior. THREAD is the culmination of Miranda’s dream. It’s the result of influences that range from vintage bohemian and minimalist fashion, to her sister (who first encouraged her to open a store), to the designers that Miranda cultivates relationships with. Reflecting Miranda’s own origins and the aesthetics of the brands that THREAD carries, the store is carefully curated in a way that brings a contemporary look and feel with industrial accents and clean, modern lines that mingle with rustic wood and homey touches. The store itself reflects both the heart and mission of THREAD: to build community through the shared love of and mutual interest in fashion, while remaining accessible and accommodating. THREAD carries brands that no one in the midwest has. THREAD engages in collaborations with big names in the fashion world, and serves as a designer “incubator”, carrying lines that may only be in their first season. It is the exclusivity of the products we carry mixed with our midwest sensibility that puts THREAD a head above the rest, and we’re one of the few places in the country that you’ll be able to pick something up and say to a friend, years later, “I had this before the designer got huge.”
