Guess What, You Totally Need a Yellow Leather Jacket

A yellow, short-sleeved leather jacket? It's perhaps not what you woke up this morning thinking you needed. But it's exactly the kind of thing that you try on and immediately know you must have. So get your bad self to Thread Lounge in Hayes Valley and try on this baby, and hurry because it's the last one! (It's a small) But don't worry we have plenty of other Sister Solnicki jackets in other fabrics like terry cloth and nylon in a variety of colors. We also have Sister Solnicki jumpsuits, rompers and skirts in cotton -- just in time for your Father's Day picnic this weekend!

Casch Is King! And We Have a Big New Shipment

Hmm, did we say Ivan Grundahl was our favorite Danish designer? Well, Casch definitely gives him a run for his money (pun intended!). We have a fresh new shipment from Casch, another longtime favorite at Thread Lounge, with pieces featuring FITs (fabrics of interesting texture) in subtly fashion-forward styles. We have the jacket shown here for $398, the top for $115, and the other jacket (those beautiful buttons are covered in white fabric) for $375. All are typically about twice the price!

New Merch Alert! Ivan Grundahl Is Here!

Ivan Grundahl is a favorite of our regulars here at Thread Lounge, and it's not hard to understand why. His avant-garde but totally wearable designs are comfortable and flattering. We have the amazing white skirt shown here for $130; it retails for $550. Possibly the most versatile skirt EVAR -- it could seriously go from beach to bride. We have about a dozen more styles similar to this white skirt, as well as a plethora of fashion-forward tops and jackets from our favorite Danish designer.
