Do you love to shop but hate the crowds, indifferent sales people, and ho-hum selection? Collective Chic takes the stress out of retail therapy and brings you a hand-picked selection of retailers in a sophisticated and welcoming environment. All of the vendors are female owned & operated businesses.  

Be greeted with a glass of wine and a smile as we guide you into our swank cocoon of fashion, accessories, and beauty products.  Relieve the stress of the day with a mini-makeover, relaxing spa hand treatment, or divine chocolate bonbon.  

At Collective Chic you can mix and mingle with other savvy fashionistas while shopping for the latest fashion trends. Collective Chic is an invitation-only event for the participating vendors to ensure that only merchandise of the highest quality is offered. Each vendor will offer at least a 10% discount for all purchases made during the event.

A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Dress for Success, a non-profit organization that promotes the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire, a network of support and the career development tools to help women thrive in work and in life. All guests who bring a gently used suit as a donation for Dress for Success will be eligible to win a fabulous door prize.
