On my visit to this upcycling boutique, I had the chance to try out one of their newest offerings—their style appointments. This 90-minute session is all about personalizing your shopping experience, and I was excited to dive in. But before I could strut into the store, I had a little pre-work to do. The first step was filling out a style quiz on their website. The quiz asked everything from what colors already dominate my wardrobe to what styles I tend to gravitate toward. One fun twist? They categorize body types as different flowers. (Spoiler alert: I’m a tulip!) I also uploaded a photo for them to color-match me and figure out my seasonal palette—talk about a personalized experience.
When I arrived for my appointment, my stylist had already curated several pieces for me based on my quiz results. Using my flower-inspired body type and skin tone, she selected the best silhouettes and colors. I was greeted with a glass of bubbly (I opted for the non-alcoholic option) and got a full walkthrough of my style assessment. Then it was time to hit the dressing room. I found myself trying on pieces I would’ve never picked on my own and, to my surprise, I fell in love with so many of them. It was such a fun and uplifting experience to have someone guide me in defining and enhancing my style—definitely a wardrobe game-changer.

The concept behind Threadeco is both innovative and eco-friendly, offering new clothing that didn’t sell in traditional retail stores. They transform slightly imperfect pieces – whether a missing button or a small smudge – into stylish, wearable art. Their in-house seamstress handles alterations and upcycling, adding personal touches that make each garment as good as new.
What sets Threadeco apart isn’t just the clothes, though—it’s the heart behind the business. Threadeco is committed to giving back to the community, partnering with organizations like The Glass Slipper to donate clothing to teenage girls in foster care and supporting local charities through events. They believe in making a positive impact while helping people look and feel their best.
