Fort Wayne may be known for its grit, heart, and growing creative scene — but something a little more sultry just landed on the map.
Enter Spoke & Ivy: the newest addition to the local culinary landscape, serving up elevated comfort food in a space that feels equal parts timeless supper club and modern speakeasy. A brunch to die for. It’s the kind of place where the lighting is low, the cocktails are fabulous, and the corners are made for conversation. Naturally, we had to get involved.
At Tehillah, we believe in timeless expression. Our clothes are made for the man who understands that how you show up — at dinner, at work, on the street — speaks louder than anything you say. And when we walked into Spoke & Ivy for the first time, we felt it instantly: this place gets the vibe. It’s bold, curated, confident. Just like the men we design for.
So we partnered up.
A Collaboration Born Over a Love for Excellence (a Shared Obsession with Detail)
We don’t just slap our name next to anyone’s. Like our garments, our partnerships are intentional. Thoughtful. Aligned.
Spoke & Ivy isn’t just “another restaurant.” It’s a visual and sensory experience. From the velvet-lined booths to the artfully moody lighting, from the craftsmanship behind every cocktail to the soulful depth of their menu — this is a place that’s not afraid to slow things down and do it right.
And neither are we.
So we brought a few of our signature pieces — from sharp, clean-lined button-downs to effortlessly structured jackets — into their space and let the two brands speak for themselves.
The result? Something cinematic.
Behind the Scenes: Setting the Mood
Picture this: our model walks in wearing a pastel striped Italian cotton shirt — crisp, intentional, no frills — and takes a seat at the bar, where a paloma is already waiting. The woodgrain glows. The shirt catches just enough of the candlelight. The bartender nods. Music hums from the corner. No one’s in a rush.
Later tucked into a corner booth. There’s laughter from the next table over. He lifts a fork from a dish that tastes like a love letter to Midwestern roots, elevated just enough to feel like a night out in Chicago.
Every frame we shot in that space told a story. Of presence. Of mood. Of knowing who you are and not needing to prove it.
That’s what Tehillah is about. And that’s exactly what Spoke & Ivy offers its guests — a space to show up, to lean in, and to enjoy the moment in full.
Fort Wayne, Elevated
It’s easy to talk about cities like Chicago, LA, or New York when we think about style, culture, or culinary excellence. But what’s happening in Fort Wayne right now? It’s real. It’s rooted. And it’s rising.
Spoke & Ivy is part of that wave. And we’re proud to be riding alongside them.
There’s something powerful about seeing two brands committed to excellence — in different but beautifully parallel ways — come together to create something bigger than either could on their own.
Because here’s the truth: Style doesn’t live in closets. It lives in context. In experiences. In places like this — where a well-dressed man sits at a well-designed table, eating something that tastes like intention, in a city that’s finally getting its flowers.
Why It Matters
This collab isn’t just about beautiful photos (though, yes — they’re very beautiful). It’s about what happens when craftsmanship meets environment. When food meets fashion. When brands stop talking at people and start showing up with them — in their spaces, in their neighborhoods, in the everyday moments that deserve more than sweatpants and takeout.
We’re here to help redefine what “getting dressed” means. It’s not about impressing others. It’s about respecting the space you walk into — and the version of yourself you want to be when you walk in.
So go ahead: Make the reservation. Iron the shirt. Invite those you love. Take up space.
Fort Wayne is ready. And we’ll be here, helping you define the moment — one fit at a time.
