Thistle Brown’s Favorite Things

“Whenever I’m coming home from a long work trip, I try to find something small and special for my boyfriend. Lately, it’s been ties for work. He especially liked this Ferragamo one I found at Charles de Gaulle.”

“The JEAN is a new THISTLES frame I’m particularly excited about. It has a great unisex rectangular shape and new light-hued lenses for Fall. I styled the Eckhaus Latta SS27 show with the silver frame and brown lens. They’re just the right amount of a statement without saying too much.”

“I treated myself to this Prada Buckle Bag about a year ago. It was a big investment, but zero regrets. I use it more than my toothbrush (kidding). It’s become my most reliable bag, perfect for trips, studio days, and pretty much everything in between.”

“My friend Stuart Winecoff opened The Altar, an incredible sauna and spa in Flatiron. I discovered 39BC gels and oils there during a session. Denarii is my favorite, but you can’t go wrong with any of them.”

“One of my best friends gifted us this jug for a housewarming present, and it really is the best for dinner parties. It comes in some really fabulous colorways, and each one is unique, which is always a plus.”

“Our apartment is within the tree line of Seward Park in the LES, so on a summer evening, it’s the best having all the windows and sliders open with the trees, and this candle really hits in that moment. Their Jasmine one is great too.”

“My friend Ricki, who I met in college in New Zealand, started this bedding company Sutram with our friend Kate. I love sheets so much, and I especially like mixing brands within the bedscape. I love this cream duvet with black trim in a crisp poplin.”

“I rarely tell people what scents I wear but this is a recent one I have grown to love. The packaging alone are so special and even comes with this marble stand for the vessel. It’s definitely for nighttime and makes you feel hot.”

“THISTLES has a showroom in Paris twice a year, and one season we shared it with Magniberg. Since then, I’ve become addicted to their things, from pajama pants to sheets. This red virgin-wool blanket is the best companion for a movie or a lazy Sunday.”

“My dearest Mike Eckhaus from Eckhaus Latta took me here while we were both in Paris. These scents will blow your mind—you’ll want one in every scent. My favorite is Ink and Gold.”
