Commonplace Essentials
Effortless pieces that prove sustainable fashion doesn't have to compromise on style or sophistication.
Commonplace Essentials grew out of Commonplace Distribution, the New Zealand wholesale agency founded by Estelle Dippie with a focus on sustainable, considered fashion. What started as GOTS-certified organic logo totes and hoodies has evolved into a full womenswear collection that draws on vintage sportswear, prep and uniform dressing with a distinctly modern, feminine edge. Think oversized shirts, co-ord sets, layered trousers, structured trenches, knitwear and statement skorts, all designed with the same commitment to organic and responsibly sourced materials that define the CPD ethos. It is fashion that feels effortless but is anything but careless. At Wally, we stock Commonplace Essentials womenswear, accessories and footwear. Shop Commonplace Essentials in New Zealand at our Takapuna store or online at wally.co.nz with free delivery on orders over $80.
The Commonplace Essentials range at Wally
The Ease Shirt is the clear best seller here and we keep it stocked in depth. The Fifi Layered Trouser sits second, and the Picnic Skort, Morale T-Shirt, Columbia Road Polo and CPD Classic Logo Cap have all moved quickly through the store. At the top end there is the Bowery Dress and the Anderson Oversized Trench.
Commonplace Essentials shirts
Shirting is where this label is strongest for us. Beyond the Ease there is the Cortez Shirt, the Peachy Oversized Shirt, the Eastern Shirt and the Greenworld Button Down. Most Commonplace sales happen over the counter in Takapuna, so the store is the place to see the fits side by side.
