More Information
Chase is the founder of Crompton Collective, a 9,000-square-foot vintage and antique shop that has become an anchor of the Canal District neighborhood in Worcester since it opened in 2012. Located within historic Crompton Place, Crompton Collective sells the work of 74 artisans, including vintage and antique items, as well as handmade goods. It has become a Worcester destination, a hub in Kelley Square, and a staple of leisurely afternoons.
Right upstairs from Crompton Collective is the Haberdash, a women’s clothing boutique Chase originally created in 2009 as a mobile vintage shop. The first brick-and-mortar Haberdash shop opened in 2017 in Hudson, the Worcester location opened in 2019, and its third location in Harwich Port launched in 2021. Chase’s third concept, lifestyle store Sol Rune, opened last year on Harrison Street. While her role in her businesses has evolved over the years, today, Chase said she is the sole buyer and designer for her stores – an ideal situation, since she said she thrives when she can be creative.
A Worcester native, Chase is bullish on helping the city she grew up in reach its full potential. She started the Canal District Farmers Market and serves as president of the Canal District Alliance.
