The Red Thread, LLC

The Red Thread, LLC We're a small Kansas City based company & sell hand crafted, one-of-a-kind items made locally, we also work with artisans in Haiti, Ethiopia & South Sudan.

Our name, The Red Thread, comes from a Chinese Proverb which says, An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstances. The thread may stretch or tangle, but will never break. Whenever you purchase a product you are connecting yourself not only to the product but to the producer. We at The Red Thread recognize the importance of treating both

the buyer and the Artisans fairly. You can rest assured that our products were produced fairly, and the artisans were paid a fair wage.

The Red Thread will have an outside sale at 6424 Woodstock Street, Shawnee, Kansas, July 19 and 20 from 10:00am -2:00 pm. We will be featuring the talents of many local artists from the Kansas City metropolitan area,as well as items from around the world. On Saturday we are delighted to honor the talents of Joseph Nimoh as he plays beautiful piano pieces that he arranged and composed. He will also be playing favorite praise and worship songs.

Hello everyone!

In light of the current COVID-19 situation impacting our nation and local community, The Red Thread team has made the difficult decision to voluntarily close our shop for the week (and possibly longer) to do our part in reducing community spread.

We want you all to know that we are closing not out of fear, but out of love. Above all, our mission is to be the hands and feet of Jesus and as part of our mission right now, we are doing what we can to implement social distancing to protect and serve the health of our customers and community (and our beloved shop owner).

For now - please continue to support other small businesses online and through pick-up services, and pray for all of our healthcare workers working tirelessly to keep so many people safe and healthy.

We are so grateful for your understanding and support and we can't wait to see you back in store!

Love,
The Red Thread Team

PS. If any of our customers are also practicing social distancing and want someone to chat with to pass the time, please feel free to call or text our Red Thread CEO, who is cozy at home with her grand-dogs, multiple check-ins from our social media manager, and many Hallmark movies to keep her company. 😊
