Threadbare.co is here. Just like that, Teresa Gomez and Fiona Hiette’s Brisbane fashion portal lets you bypass the eBays and other big corporates and get spunky local and overseas boutique wear in close to an instant.
On their pages you’ll find local labels including Ellery, with their latest resort collection and chic sunglasses; After The Apple, who make bags for the every day lady; and Rachael Ruddick, whose latest collection Electrique Avenue combines chic and mystique, from tie-dyed totes to coloured leather wallets.
Threadbare also stock a range of internationals like Temps Des Reves, the sultry LA-based Naven and the eclectically electric jewellery label, Fallon.
We all love shopping at one our city’s growing number of local boutiques, but sometimes, just sometimes, you really want a foreign runway look from far way without the many week mailbox stake out. Now you can shop locally via the internet.
