Exclusive after-hours shopping parties, trunk shows, and sip-and-shop evenings at Velvet & Thread Boutique.
There is something magical about having an entire boutique to yourself. At Velvet & Thread Boutique on South Gay Street in downtown Knoxville, we open our doors after hours for private shopping events that transform an ordinary evening into an unforgettable experience. Whether you are celebrating a birthday, a bridal shower, a bachelorette weekend, or simply a well-deserved girls' night out, our private events bring together fashion, community, and celebration in a setting that feels both intimate and luxurious.
Our private shopping events are designed for groups of six or more. When you arrive at 512 South Gay Street, the boutique will be yours for the evening. Our team sets the scene with curated music, complimentary refreshments, and a welcoming atmosphere that invites exploration. Your group will have undivided access to our entire collection, along with dedicated stylists who can help each guest find pieces that reflect their individual style.
Sip-and-Shop Evenings: Our most popular format pairs boutique shopping with local wines and light bites. Guests browse at their own pace, try on pieces in our private fitting rooms, and enjoy an evening of style and socializing. These events are perfect for birthday celebrations, holiday gatherings, or team-building outings for Knoxville-area businesses.
Trunk Shows: We partner with featured designers to host exclusive trunk shows where guests get first access to new collections before they hit the main floor. These events often include meet-and-greet opportunities with designers and early-bird pricing on select pieces. Our trunk shows have become some of the most anticipated fashion events in the Knoxville social calendar.
Bridal and Special Occasion Shopping: Coordinating outfits for a wedding party, a gala, or a milestone event can be stressful. Our private bridal shopping events take the pressure off by giving your group a dedicated stylist, plenty of room to try options, and a relaxed environment where everyone can weigh in without the hustle of regular shopping hours.
Booking a private event at Velvet & Thread is simple. Contact our events coordinator by calling (865) 555-0418 or emailing hello@velvetandthread.com. We will work with you to choose a date and time, discuss any themes or special requests, and tailor the evening to your group's preferences. Most private events are held on weekday evenings or Sunday afternoons, though we can accommodate Saturday evenings for larger groups with advance notice.
We have hosted events for corporate groups, sorority chapters from the University of Tennessee, birthday parties, and neighborhood social clubs from across Knox County. Every event is customized to make your guests feel special, whether that means a personal shopper assigned to each attendee or a styled rack pre-curated around a seasonal theme.
