However, on Wednesday, June 4, at 9am PDT, Grailed will add a new component: Grailed Direct.  Arun and his crew are teaming up with brands and retailers to bring you and yours huge discounts on some excellent threads, including 3Sixteen, Hamilton 1883, Junya Watanabe Man, Maison Martin Margiela, nonnative, Thom Browne, wings+horns, and lots more. All the clothes are brand new with tags and will be around 50% off retail.

The layout features an array of custom-made furnishings designed to inspire curiosity and facilitate collaboration.
