This Hayes Valley sample sale shop rewards patient shoppers with rare gems from top designers--but it may take a few visits to find your nugget..
What started as a roving sample sale has found a permanent home on the corner of Laguna and Hayes streets, close to the boutique-y strip of Hayes Valley businesses. The high prices of nearby designer destinations only emphasize the deals to be had at Thread Lounge, where fashion-forward thriftsters dedicate themselves to searching through the haphazard racks of mostly women's clothing for the right size of discounted Rock & Republic jeans. And while the prices aren't exactly rock bottom, the store stocks a good selection from both big names and independent labels, which you're not likely to find at more mainstream outlets.
