You might win a dream vacation, too!

Here's to a chic summer at home

Summer is upon us! We feel the heat, munch on all things cool, and crave for a dose of vitamin sea. While it is going to be our second take on indoor summer due to community quarantine, it doesn't mean it has to be a boring one. This year, make your at-home summer experience an affair with fashion. Not only does this retail experience will chase your summer blues away, it might also earn you a dream escapade to paradise!

Loungewear sets from Surplus

Lounging in style

As we now live in new lifestyles—WFH arrangements, online classes, Zoom meetings, binge-watching our favorite series—loungewear has become a defining fashion staple in many of our wardrobes. Dress yourself in chill, cool, and chic loungewear in the season's vibrant hues from Surplus.

Hoodies are hot, tracksuits are right on track in the store's new collection. Explore soft fabrics such as fleece, ribbed, knits, sweat shorts, biker shorts, loose-fitting pullovers, and oversized tees for an easy everyday dressing.

Make your own oasis at home with Japanese tatami chairs, wooden humidifiers and air purifiers. While Easy Massager and Rechargeable Hot Compress are perfect for indoor pampering sessions.
