When packing for a spring or summer holiday, the well-dressed will always tell you to have at least one statement piece. THRIFTS AND THREADS is an artisanal, slow-fashion brand with roots in Mexico. And the label company knows how to make strong resort statement. It celebrates the work of hands, employing time-honored traditions to weave pieces that elevate any resort ensemble. Every step in the creation process is homage to the creativity and workmanship of underdeveloped communities in Mexico. Fringe is the unifying element that ties together every new creation from the brand. From tops, dresses and pants, a deliberately raw and undone look conveys a too-cool-to-care style temperament. This distinctive design element instantly elevates a daytime poolside ensemble or even a cocktail number. I love that every garment can work as both a cover up and a nighttime showstopper. They can even be worn on a sultry night out on the city.
