Threadbox is a design studio and surf-inspired shop in Mangawhai, with its shop and studio on Moir Street, in the same building as Bennetts. It has been there since late 2019, and it both sells its own clothing and does design and printing work for other businesses. The shop stocks clothing, lifestyle accessories, gifts and pantry items, and carries the Mysayang and Wasabi Originals ranges. Wasabi Originals makes handmade surfboard bags in store. For businesses, the studio does branding, web design and ecommerce sites, business cards, brochures, posters, signage, and custom apparel. Screen printing and embroidery are done in house for small runs, and bigger orders are made offshore.
Customers say the staff are fast and easy to deal with, and that the printed clothing is high quality. One business had uniforms printed and said the team looked smart in them. Another ordered printed clothing for their business and recommended the studio, praising both the products and the service. Several reviews mention printed apparel and gifts, which suggests the studio's printing work is the part most people notice. The website says the studio has sixteen years of experience designing for major retailers and brands in New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and the USA.
