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?

The post Achieve the old money aesthetic at this Pinterest-worthy minimalist thrift shop in the West, offering a wide selection of neutral vintage clothing and accessories that’ll make you look boujee af appeared first on Confirm Good.

As a two-in-one cafe and thrift store, it serves as a unique space, where you can get in a little thrift shopping before relaxing over a cup of coffee and dessert. 

You can find clothes for different occasions, with prices starting from S$0.59 (RM2). Chic cocktail dresses, elegant jumpsuits, shirts, trousers and so much more are waiting to be picked up by the right owners. 

There’s no need to worry about the conditions of the clothing — they all have been thoroughly inspected and cleaned before being put on the racks.

With the idea of promoting a sustainable lifestyle in mind, The Loop & Co. also encourages customers to exchange their pre-loved clothing at the cafe for cash vouchers.

You can receive cash vouchers worth up to S$5.88 (RM20), which you can spend on any item in the shop. The value of the vouchers are determined by the weight of your traded clothes.

Before you trade in your clothes, check for the following don’ts:

• No damages or piling
• No discolouration
• No school or work uniforms
• No innerwear
• No fabrics
• No leather or PVC fabrics

You can use your cash vouchers for the cafe menu items as well, so why not try out some of their delicious handmade desserts?

There are plenty of selections on the menu, including the likes of coffee, tea, cakes and bread. Worth highlighting is their alcoholic Tiramisu Cake, which is made with a delightful blend of rum, Kahlua and Baileys. 

Their Matcha Red Bean Sourdough Bread, Mokuren Genmaicha, and matcha drinks are also popular choices.

Moreover, the cafe occasionally holds DIY workshops on crafting personalised items like lipsticks, perfume, bath bombs, and earrings. Those who are interested can follow them on their socials for updates or visit the shop for more information.

Check them out the next time you head to JB for your weekend shopping spree!

2. Vintage Wknd

Probably the largest vintage and reworked clothing store in Singapore, Vintage Wknd specialises in original and reworked vintage pieces so you best bet you can find items from the 50s to the Y2K era here. The items here also have a one-of-a-kind factor — that’s right, no two pieces are alike here as most of them have been reworked from discarded materials. 

The clothes you’ll find are more brightly coloured and cutesy which will add a pop of colour to your everyday style. They’ve also got a pretty extensive collection of original pieces and reworked items in store so don’t be surprised if you find yourself leaving with more items than you came here for.

3. Superwasted

Superwasted is helmed by the same owners behind Vintage Wknd, you can expect to find unique upcycled and vintage pieces worth adding to your wardrobe. Like their sister brand, most of the pieces here have been creatively reworked into items like crop tops, shirts, jackets, and dresses. 

What sets them apart from Vintage Wknd is their style, which is more rugged and edgy. Their online store also has a mystery shopping option in which the store will surprise you with something off their racks — doesn’t it sound exciting? Prices here will also set you back upwards of S$35.

You might have seen this TikTok famous thrift store on your social media feeds. What makes these guys special is the curated selection of trendy Y2K fashion for just S$10 — super pocket-friendly! Woofie’s Warehouse joined the thrifting scene in April 2023 and their physical store is overflowing with Y2K vibes with their vintage-inspired items and retro memorabilia.

5. Flame Vintage 

Calling all retro-enthusiasts! Here’s a really lit (pun intended) vintage store you defo have to check out — Flame Vintage. Remember back in the day when punk-rock graphic tees were a thing? You’ll be pleased to know that the racks here are stocked full with graphic tees that will certainly make heads turn. 

If rock isn’t your thing, Flame also has a selection of retro-style jackets, vests and more from labels like Nike, and Ralph Lauren among others. I personally really love their wide selection of windbreakers which go for just S$20 to S$30. There’s also a S$10 section that is filled with hidden gems, although you’ll need to put in a bit of effort to rummage through the bin.

6. The Cartel’s 

One of my personal favourite spots to thrift a good graphic tee is The Cartel’s because they have probably the widest selection of graphic tees around. What’s even greater about the shop is they have racks of clothes starting from just S$5 — try saying no to that! 

Apart from their exhaustive collection of graphic tees, they’ve also got a pretty large selection of NFL jerseys and even shoes — yes, you can find some vintage sneakers like Nike Jordans here. If you don’t know what to get, you can go for the three-piece mystery pack which will certainly be a sweet surprise.
