I’ve shopped a select few times, maybe more than a few & I love their accessories, although I love another local boutique’s accessories better. I am a huge fan of this place, during my last visit which was a while back I spent over $ 300+ & ¹⁄₃ was on accessories. My gosh after I completed my purchase, I was thinking to myself, maybe you would’ve been a little less rational & gave it a little more thought since accessories are all sales final.
Its alright there are a few pieces from that purchase that I wear constantly & wished I bought the other colors of that say accessory piece lol versus the others I don’t wear or care too much about now. Oh well, I do love those select few so I guess it makes up for the others that don’t get as much love.
This shop always got something to look at, since I’m a bit more on the selective side, if there’s something that catches my eye. That doesn’t look typical, I gotta snatch it although I think there will be the select few ladies who will have the exact same piece somewhere, but what are the chances I will run into that gal.
If you are ever in the Ward Warehouse, this boutique is worth a peek, but if your a sucker for jewelry just like me, you better compose yourself & watch out. You might end up doing what I did, since I’m not in town often enough to stop by frequently.
Why 4 stars, I would’ve appreciated it if there was a note on my account stating how much I love the accessories they have to offer. and to contact me when more of the styles I love come in since this day in age, an email is almost effortless to send me a picture, I would drive to town to shop for sure. Its ok, although I do like this boutique I don’t absolutely love it.
Just a side note, I believe its the owner who was in when I was working & 1 of the sales gals were rather nice & pleasant very helpful when I’ve been in ;)

While Eden in Love is sweet, BT across the way knows what’s up & is the unique, edgier counterpart in this Ward complex.
I’ll admit, I anxiously await the «New Merch» insta & fb posts and every time, the styling is always awesome because I end up wanting EVERYTHING. I think it’s also great how this boutique can also appeal to both men and women.
My experiences here have always been great in terms of customer service (super friendly), price (reasonable & there’s some pretty good sales) and it’s uniqueness/​variety of merchandise. I’m also a fan of the re-​useable shopping bags (not sure if they have these all the time), but I love it! Thanks for thinking green BT!
Keep up the fabulous work!

This place is the shit!
Not only is the staff SUPER friendly but also very helpful as well. They’ve done everything from trying clothes on for me (so I could see what it would look like since he was about the same size as my brother-​in-​law), extending exchange/​return dates and holding a piece of artwork that I wanted to buy. The clothes remind me of my days shopping down Melrose when I’m back home in LA. The styles are new, stylish, fresh and very chic. They have awesome accessories and even cool local artists and designers that show their stuff there month after month.
Whenever I walk down to Ward, I HAVE to stop by. And with such an awesome shopping experience each time, it’d be hard NOT to at least stop by and say hi.
Definitely my favorite clothing store in all of Hawaii. Forget the Ala Moana Center, stop by Ward for some off the hook chic boutiques!

Trendy, urban, and hip! My husband came in here last year to buy a pretty nice watch for his brother last year. I wasn’t with him when he went shopping but he mentioned it was a store in Ward with really nice stuff. When ever my husband says «nice stuff» usually it means stuff for him. So earlier this week we went to the store and they had a rack full of clothes for 50% off!!! While my husband looked through the racks it didn’t take long for me to find a whole lot of cute clothes for myself. Nice quality, different (you would not run into any other girl wearing the same top or dress), and reasonably priced. Wish I could buy everything in there.
The store itself is very open. Not much clutter. If you go to the back of the store there’s a nice comfy couch to sit on and a beautiful turquoise chandelier. I really loved everything about it. Maybe because with all the Christmas hustle and bustle out there it was nice to finally come to a store with a nice comfortable atmosphere. I didn’t get anything since I was still budgeting for the rest of my Christmas shopping but my husband did find a really nice $ 12 purple t-​shirt which may I add is one of my favorite colors.
Come on down to Basique Threads! You will not be disappointed!

I stumbled upon this cute little shop during my lunch break. I was hesitant to go inside only because it was slow and I didn’t want an annoying sales person following me around the store trying to sell me things I didn’t want.
I decided to check it out anyways because they looked like they had lots of cute things inside. When I stepped in, I was greeted and the sales lady asked me if I was looking for anything. I said no and she told me to let her know if I needed help with anything then backed off to let me look around. Phew* I was relieved I didn’t have someone breathing down my neck while I tried to look around. There were so many cute things that weren’t too crazy overpriced. I didn’t have much time to shop since I had to go back to work but as I was leaving the store she said thankyou.
The sales people here are nice and not pushy. They also greet you when you leave even though you don’t purchase anything unlike some stores that seem snobby if you walk out without anything.
I’ve came back a few times after and got a few goodies. Every time I’ve stepped in the store, I’ve never experienced any rude sales people.

I love this boutique! Every time I come in I find at least one piece that I love that’s also not toooo out of my budget. The service is awesome. They’re helpful and friendly, but they also don’t bombard you trying to sell to you. I just feel like they’re truly helping me find an outfit that I like and not just trying to make more money off of me. Now for their selection of clothing and accessories… everything is to die for! Sooo cute :). I’ve even managed to find my boyfriend a couple of shirts that he love.
Their name says it all… basic+unique= Basique Threads :)

Basique Threads is a super cute and trendy store, offering affordable boutique-​wear for both women and men. It’s located in the Ward Warehouse, across of Eden in Love and The Wedding Café. Just look for the stylish mannequins in the window…
Anyway, I’m so glad that Ward Warehouse is starting to spruce itself up with some exciting stores that younger folk would likely shop at!
While the menswear selection is a little skimpy compared to the women’s, I still always take a peek to see what the bf might like. And even though I haven’t found him anything yet, I’m sure I will.
For the ladies, the style of clothing and accessories range from risqué club-​trendy to work-​appropriate sophisticated-​chique. I’ve found many versatile tops and outfit pieces that I can mix ‘n match and dress up or down. :)
The service at Basique Threads is always friendly and helpful. I don’t ever have to worry about shopping with my hands full or with hangers decked out on my arm bc the staff are always attentive. They’re really great about starting me a fitting room or holding stuff on the side for me while I peruse. Also, I love that they always make it a point to show me the «new and exciting» and the sale.
Overall, Basique Threads is awesome! I love the style and selection of clothes; I love that they feature both men and women attire and accessories; and I love that they have super sales all of the time. Parking and location are also pretty cherry bc it’s at Ward Warehouse.

This store has quickly become my go to place when I need an outfit. The past few time’s I’ve needed an outfit for a night out, I ended up finding something really great to wear here. They have a nice selection for whatever look you are going for, and the employees are really friendly and helpful. If you don’t look great in something, they won’t lie to you just to sell you something. I really appreciate an honest opinion when I’m shopping by myself.
I love that they post on their facebook and instagram some of the new pieces they have in store, the down side being that I end up there every week because there’s something I have to have.
Best of all, they price things really well. The other week I was here and noticed that they had the same top I was looking at in another store in Ward Warehouse, but it was $ 10 less at Basique Threads!

Boutique shopping at its cutest! And by cutest I mean cutest clothes, accessories, and cute little Laurie from Bamboo Sky. The selection is modest, but everything there is adorable and I just wish I could afford to buy everything! Laurie’s style is adorable and it is reflected in the clothes. Right now, its Cute shorts, bright colors, and basic cuts.
They have great sales pretty often, I’d say at least once a month, and the clothes are priced pretty reasonably.
Probably my favorite thing besides the clothes, is the fact that they don’t hover. Its a relaxing environment and the clothes aren’t cluttered and hanging off every free space.

While trying to shop for the perfect b-​day dinner shirt and after looking through all your typical clothing stores I decided to start searching at boutiques and pretty much went to about 10 boutiques in a day!!! This one was my FAVORITE. Their style is URBAN CHIC, HIP AND STYLISH. Although I wasn’t able to find a shirt I did find other great things that during a general shopping trip would be great additions to my closet. They also sell masculine clothing so that’s another plus.
And the CUSTOMER SERVICE was great compared to the other boutiques I went to that day, the girl who was working here at the time was so helpful. She had great ideas on clothing pairings. Krisha, another one of their employees was also supper nice and helpful!
I left the store and purchased a bracelet that would later match my shirt perfectly!

Why the heck would anyone walk around Ward Warehouse? Before, I thought it was to look at the cute puppies at the pet shop or perhaps pickup a bottle of libations. Now, I must say, it’s to come across a unique apparel store called Basique Threads.
Located away from the more popular areas, Basique Threads almost is out of the way. Yet, when you come across the store, you are taken away to the fashions which you would come to expect of Ala Moana, not Ward Warehouse. While the selection may not be as extensive, they focus on a niche selection of apparel for both men and women that is different, cool, yet at the same time comfortable.
The clothes and accessories are definitely trendy and different. You’ll find things that are up to date, modern, and setting the new trends. If you were to get something here, you would be hard pressed to bump into someone wearing the same thing.
Service is great with the staff ready to help and assist if they can. They come across as genuine, intelligent, and very knowledgeable. They quickly know if they have something or not, or if there might be something else that might be fitting for what you are looking for.
I must say, I was pleasantly surprised to come across this store. I had heard about it before and it definitely lives up to the high standards that the reviews that precede mine.

Finally! A boutique with cute Los Angeles-​chic clothing where I can relax in and not worry about sales associates with stalker skills or high-​brow attitudes!
Basique Threads is a trendy boutique that focuses mostly on women’s fashion and accessories with a side of men’s clothing. There’s a good mix of casual and going-​to-​town blouses, skirts, dresses, bags in vibrant colors to help make your outfit pop and your date at Bar 35 fall in love. ;)
I purchased a pack of simple, skinny golden bangles here and a chunkier crème-​colored bracelet that I wear with absolutely everything only for a mere ten dollars! Needless to say, I did my Chinese papa proud on that shopping trip.
Check out their Facebook page (Link:
) for announcements and pictures of new arrivals!

Trendy, cute, quality, and affordable clothes are hard to find in Honolulu, but Basique Threads hit the nail on the head with this one! Owners Laurie & Nick have created a local fashion phenomenon in their chic teal storefront at Ward Warehouse.
Laurie has amazing fashion intuition and it shows in the pieces she has in the store. Everything is very unique and «basique» and each piece can be worn and accessorized to fit your individual style. …and speaking of accessorizing, their accessories are to dieeee for!
The best part is, this store is BOYFRIEND FRIENDLY! That’s right ladies & gents, they have a great selection of men’s clothing, too! So guys, it’s your turn to drag your woman to the mall for a mutually rewarding shopping experience!
Nick also explained to me that all the artwork hanging in the store is for sale and 100% of the profits goes directly to the local artists. Way cool!
Nick & Laurie, you guys are doing an AMAZING job! Keep it up! :)

If you’re looking for something a little different, check out Basique Threads. Their aesthetic definitely has that X-​factor and edge I look for, and keeps me coming back for more. They have awesome party dresses with interesting cuts and details (holes in the side or back, mesh, lace, etc) and carry Upper Class Label tees, which feature a very clever logo. I am absolutely in love with the jewelry– tons of statement pieces, obnoxiously loud earrings, armor rings, multi-​finger rings, spikes, studs, precious stones!!! Ugh, it is SO HARD for me to walk out of this store empty-​handed! AND prices are very reasonable (seems like most of the inventory is $ 60 or under), yet you’re getting a high quality product.
Check them out on facebook. The owners constantly update the page with new items in stock and sales.
I almost don’t want to tell anyone about this wonderful little place so I can have it all to myself. But I’d rather have this shop do well so I can keep coming back. I wish owners Laurie and Nick much success!

Yeah, it’s me again. Unilocal knows me as «that guy who wrote a review for a women’s boutique» back when I jotted down some thoughts on Bamboo Sky. So here I am again writing yet another review for a new shop that has opened up in Ward Warehouse.
Owners Laurie and Nick have done an amazing job at both decorating the place and selecting stylish clothes to fill the racks with. They carry all kinds of denim, tops, dresses, hats and accessories. They also carry denim, shirts, and accessories for guys!
The shop feels very alive, fresh, and upbeat. It’s a very welcome addition to an otherwise boring (and dying) mall. I definitely want to wish them the best and good luck!

I love Basique Threads!
I am definitely a shopper that goes to all of those local boutiques. I’ve noticed that a lot of the popular boutiques carry the same brands… which is not necessarily bad as I tend to find cute stuff at all boutiques… but Basique Threads has brands that I haven’t seen anywhere else on the island!
Not everything in the store floats my boat, but there is always something of my taste, so I keep coming for more!
I love Laurie and Nick! They are friendly but not overly eager to sell you things. I hate it when I walk into a store and the salespeople keep handing me things to try on and keep talking to me like I’m their best friend! I’ll let you know when I need help! I’m always happy to shop in a store where I can kind of keep to my own but still find help when needed.
If you are also a fan of this boutique, you have to like them on Facebook and follow them on Instagram! They always update when new shipments come in so you are always in the know!
The fact that they have men’s clothing is also a plus. There’s definitely not as much inventory as there is for girl’s, but at least I know my boyfriend will be occupied the next time that I drag him shopping with me. :)

There is one simple fact in life: everyone needs to wear clothes. If you are going to wear clothes, wear clothes that look good. If you want to stand out and be unique, keep it basique.
Basique Threads is not just a shop for the ladies. They have men’s clothing and accessories as well! If you haven’t checked it out yet, I highly suggest doing so. The staff there is incredibly friendly and professional. I highly recommend this new shop for any clothing needs.

Super cute local boutique and super nice owners. Lots of great stuff for guys and girls. I’m hardly ever at Ward Warehouse, but I’ll be sure to stop in every once in a while to check this place out. Thinking of going back here to pick up some Christmas gifts for others… and myself. lol.

I love finding local boutiques! Also in honor of «Take The Unilocal Shops Local Pledge!» This would be a great place to shop. This store just opened in the Ward Warehouse, a home for local boutiques.
Why am I a fan? The customer service is great! For me customer service scores big points with me. The owners of this place are so nice, and helpful. They gave me macaroons as part of their opener. You can always get to my heart with food! :D
I also love that this is finally a boutique for BOTH women and men! Now when I drag my boyfriend around shopping, at least he’ll have something to look at too! Not to mention when I say men’s boutique clothing it’s not just «Affliction» shirts, and «Ed Hardy». Sorry, but it’s getting a little played out for me. We can’t forget the ladies. They have so many cute items, most of them are reasonably priced. There are some items that are more high end, and are reflected in their prices. Also their accessories are very reasonably price. I bought an adorable belt for $ 14. They have really cute handbags, and clutches. I have to go back for more. Also one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen was reversible jeans! Yes I said it REVERSIBLE! I think I have to go back for that, it would be awesome for packing light for trip 2 cute jeans in one!
Overall, both guys and gals, check this place out and support our local economy! They always have new stuff coming in!
**I had to Edit this to 5 stars because of my Hello Kitty Bow glasses. LOVE THEM! Only $ 10, and are my most favorite thing in the world right now. I’ve gotten so many compliments on them! I went back to get more colors!
