Thread Lounge: Discounted Designers to New Labels
independent designers and sartorial titans at greatly discounted prices. With 300 labels in the loft-like space and apparel and accessories for men, women and children, it's a one-stop shop for all seasons and occasions. From chic yoga gear to statement-making evening wear, Thread Lounge Designer Sample Sales has you covered.
You'll certainly be charmed by the price tags on designs by the likes of Vivienne Westwood, Trina Turk, and Joe's Jeans, but this boutique's biggest asset is the attire from lesser-known, up-and-coming designers, like Julie Brown and Nougat of London. Smith's extensive stable of local and international labels makes for a wardrobe of seemingly one-of-a-kind wears that will no doubt become a talking point. Whether you pick up the most becoming blue jeans or a head-turning party dress, you'll spur curiosity and envy in all who pass you by.
