(SPOT.ph) Stepping into a new store full of eye-catching finds is always equal parts thrilling and stress-inducing. Suddenly you feel like you want every. Single. Thing. While that's the case with Common Thread, the cute notes scattered around the store saying, "CT loves" and "Hello, try me" will help make decision-making a little bit easier. But here's what we love most about this store: it's not too likely that you'd leave with something you'll end up regretting later on.
Common Thread, which has branches in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, puts together a group of brands that produce quality basics that will always be wardrobe staples, whatever your style. Tank tops from Thread 365 share shelf space with ballerina flats from Allegrina and the very hip Happy Socks. They have Bensimons and Ray-Bans, too, along with accessories and books.
We picked a few quick favorites:
Hipster Guide, P795
Anchor earrings, P495
Allegrina ballerina flats, P1,950
Happy Socks, P545
Bensimon tennis shoes, P2,595
