Braintree Clothing - introducing Thought
Changes at Braintree Clothing this February!
As fashion evolves we naturally move with it. So this February we have some exciting news, we will be changing our name to ‘Thought’ and also changing our website to www.wearethought.com.
We feel that the business has really grown up over the past twenty years and therefore we wanted a name that better fits who we are and where we’re going. It also builds on our celebrated “thoughtful clothing” message – which you, our customers have resonated with."
