Nifty Do Menswear Shop

One of our favourite things about running Cursor & Thread is being able to work & build relationships with awesome people and their shops. Nifty Do, with stores in Vancouver, Canada and Seoul, South Korea is one of those operations with great people and great brands.

We've enjoyed Musette Caffè since they opened, so we're chuffed to announce that their store is now carrying Cursor & Thread braces and bow ties, including an exclusive colourway of our popular Bike Bow!
