Silk Haus’ Celebrates Grand Opening Weekend in Downtown Batesville
The Batesville Area Chamber of Commerce proudly welcomed Silk Haus, downtown Batesville’s newest women’s retail boutique, as a new member with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Main Street. Community members, Chamber Ambassadors, family and friends gathered to celebrate the store’s official opening.
Chamber Membership Engagement Specialist, Amanda Roberts, kicked off the ceremony, highlighting the importance of small businesses to the local economy and the excitement of adding another unique retail option to Batesville’s vibrant downtown district. “We are thrilled to welcome Silk Haus and the Craft family to the Batesville business community,” said Roberts. “Their passion, creativity, and commitment to downtown add something truly special.”
Blair Craft, owner of Silk Haus, shared her long-held vision for the store—a boutique built around her passion for women’s fashion and her own handcrafted, hypoallergenic jewelry line. “I’ve always dreamed of creating my own jewelry and pairing it with a space where women can shop quality clothing and accessories,” she said. Her jewelry collection, designed to be worn comfortably for days, is featured alongside curated apparel.
During the ribbon cutting, Chamber Ambassadors modeled select pieces from the store, showcasing Silk Haus’ styles and craftsmanship. Blair also pointed out specialty items, including selections for “all of my Mahjong girlies,” and introduced customers to various in-store collections.
Grand opening weekend promotions included storewide discounts, Facebook giveaways, a hat bar by Social Pony, and color analysis by Amanda Reeves of House of Colors. Holiday shoppers are encouraged to stop in for unique gifts, accessories, and gift certificates just in time for the season.
