OLD BRIDGE – It’s all about the experience when entering Studio4Threads, a women’s clothing boutique for all ages and sizes, featuring up-to-date styles and trends.
It was a dream come true when owner Maria Antoniades opened her own store on Dec. 11 at 150 Texas Road. She has support of Dolores Catania of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” and they ship their items all over the United States.
Antoniades said the mission at Studio4Threads is to bring customers the very latest styles and trends with all sizes and body types welcome. They continuously brainstorm and change their displays.
With Valentine’s Day coming up, the storefront is filled with love.
“Along our journey, Studio 4 became a place where friendships are formed, confidence is built and happiness and comfort is felt,” she said. “We encourage women to feel and look their best, whether it is wearing a stylish lounge outfit or dressing to impress for a big event.”
The journey began two-and-a-half years ago as a private studio with appointment only private parties and private shopping.
“We also held a successful fashion show at iPlay America [in Freehold],” Antoniades said.
With the novel coronavirus pandemic causing a time of uncertainty, Antoniades said she and her team – including Laura Weiss, store manager, and helpers Julianna, Gianna, Arianna, Gracie, Marissa, Andrea, Paulette and Kaley – decided it was time to open a storefront.
“There’s nothing like this in Old Bridge,” Weiss said.
Antoniades said her brother, Kim Aiello, owner of Tuscany Old Bridge Italian Specialty Foods, at 155 Texas Road, had been using the space at 150 Texas Road as the catering part of his business.
“It’s a family affair with my brother next door,” she said.
Their mother, Anne Aiello, said she is very proud of her daughter and her team.
“They provide a beautiful experience,” she said, adding everyone is hospitable and the store provides clothes for the every day wear.
The clothing store carries brands including Vintage Havanna, Spanx, Z Supply, Elan USA, Haute Shore Totes, Ahdorned Bags, Free People, Fate, Arniella and POL.
