Gone are the days when thrift shops were seen as ‘messy’ and ‘overwhelming’. Today, thrift shops have been upgraded to viral even mainstream fashion outlets, showcasing curated collections of high-quality clothing in beautifully designed interiors.
One such thrift shop has popped up in the Hillview neighbourhood (finally us Westies have something to look forward to) recently and it’s too aesthetically appealing to not mention.
Duplet Studio was founded by two friends (hint: one is a popular influencer!) who discovered their shared love for elevated basics and old-money aesthetics. Think high-quality clothing and accessories that are classically stylish and of muted shades.
That’s exactly what you can expect from Duplet Studio. Here, you can shop from either their studio line or their curated selection of vintage second-hands. Take it from me when I say their offerings are literally perfect for creating a capsule wardrobe from scratch.
For example, their 90s Ribbed Scoop Camisole (S$38) is a must in every closet as it can be layered with anything and everything. Feel free to wear it on its own when the weather is hot. As the top is made from ribbed cotton, it’s stretchable, comfortable, and oh-so soft.
Opt for the 90s Ribbed Boat Neck (S$38) for a higher neckline. Likewise, it’s made from 100% cotton, so it’s perfect for all-day comfort. Both these tops come in three sizes: extra small, small, and medium.
Their Oak Brown Oversized Blazer (S$68) is also a highlight for someone who loves copying any outfit worn by Hailey Bieber (*ahem* aka me). Blazers may not be the most practical choice in Singapore’s heat but they’re great for the office — and they instantly give off those girl boss vibes!
Rounding out their collection are vintage blouses, vests, trousers, skirts, dresses, and even men’s suits.
When it comes to accessories, you’ll usually find a selection of retro-inspired purses, though availability can vary! At the time of writing, they’ve a 1970s Ceramic Beaded Envelope Bag (S$72) that looks very vintage Dior-coded.
While you can shop online, I recommend heading down to their store to experience the cosiness and take some mirror selfies. Do note that visits to the store are by appointment only, which you can easily book right here.
Ready to turn heads with that old-money vibe without breaking the bank?
