During the summer of 1965 John Miceli Sr. began selling draperies to friends and family in his Chicago neighborhood. When the small workroom he used could not deliver to his customers on time he bought his first sewing machine and hired Mrs. Patrino, his mother-in-laws friend & retired seamstress, to sew drapes. The Miceli Drapery Family grew from there.
John Sr.'s gregarious personality and fun demeanor brought in his first customers but the quality and beautiful workmanship of his creations kept them coming. John's wife, Sandi, supported him in any way she could and convinced John to purchase their first location on W. Diversy; the 5,000 square foot space seemed immense but as Miceli Drapery became increasingly recognized for quality, clients from across the midwest began to seek them out to assist in bringing their design intent to reality.
In 1987 John and Sandi moved the company an hour west of Chicago to Marengo, Illinois. As a young boy John Jr.'s first job in the business was picking up stray pins on the workroom floor.
