Our story
Maple & Thread opened in 2019 in a former tailor’s shop on Witherspoon Street. Owner Elise Marchetti buys from about forty small studios across North America — a knitter in Nova Scotia, a ceramicist in Asheville, a letterpress shop in Lambertville — and carries only what she would give as a gift herself. Complimentary wrapping, always.
What we care about
Met the maker
Elise knows the person behind nearly everything in the shop.
Small runs
Most items come in quantities of ten or fewer. When it’s gone, it’s gone.
Wrapped and ready
Bring a list; leave with gifts you don’t have to think about again.
“The kind of shop where everything is chosen by a person with taste. I never leave empty-handed.”— Hannah W.
“Bought my sister’s whole birthday here — linen napkins, a candle, and a card the owner wrote out for me.”— Marcus B.
“Beautiful knitwear from small makers you cannot find online. Worth the parking hassle.”— Julia K.
