If you're looking for a freestanding store of the noted watchmaker Rado of Switzerland, there's only one in the Philippines, and it can be found at the ground floor of Glorietta 4. We got an invite recently to witness the unveiling of their redesigned store. It turned out to be a costly proposition since hubby and I ended up buying two of their impeccable Swiss watches :D I tried to console myself by saying it was my birthday, 2) Mr. Z was buying it for me anyway,and 3) a well-made watch is a better investment than a designer bag. Its durability and design lasts ... Continue Reading...
Outlet shopping @ Robinsons Starmills Pampanga
Outlet stores are a shopaholics' delight. In the United States, they're usually found in the outskirts of certain towns. In the Philippines, Robinsons Starmills in Pampanga takes pride being the only mall with the biggest number of factory outlets in one roof. The trick is not to get intimidated with the location. From EDSA, it only takes 50 minutes or so to reach this mall via the North Luzon Expressway. It's been years since I last visited Robinsons Starmills and a bargain hunter like me was excited to score new finds. Whether you're a serious or leisurely ... Continue Reading...
Leilanie’s House of Bags, BF Homes Paranaque
Because I live down south, I was glad that the much-awaited Leilanie's House of Bags is now open. I've seen the manse with the replica of a pink Hermes being constructed, the huge billboards and banners along the highway, the newspaper ads ... how can I not go and take a look? Secondly, am curious to know who Leilanie Calderon is and why she has all these pricey bags. The building where her store is was used as the campaign headquarters of Paranaque City Mayor Jun Bernabe during the May elections. Are they in any way related? Anyhoo, It was a good exercise ogling ... Continue Reading...
BUM is for grunge and goth
BUM is one of the oldest, most enduring, fashion labels in the Philippines. It used to be called by a much longer name Bum Equipment (itself an international brand). We are happy to hear that the label is still doing well despite the seeming saturation of the clothing market and the influx of cheap imports from China. We heard it from owners Gerwin Cue and Nathan Atienza themselves that BUM has been able to ride the tide by changing their logo and focusing on Philippine provincial cities where most of the market remains untapped. It is, no less, an inspiring business ... Continue Reading...
Grendha shoes and slip-ons to love at Bambu store, Glorietta
We attended the opening of the new Bambu store in Glorietta 4 last week,and we thought having four young girls cut the ceremonial ribbon was such a cute idea. (they were nieces/relatives of Bambu owner Patxi Elizalde) Bambu is a one-stop shop when you're looking for quality, fashionable Brazilian footwear, notably flip-flops which you can strut around the beach. Very apt since summer's almost here! The house carries such noted brands as Ipanema, Ipanema GB (which stands for supermodel Gisele Bundchen), Grendha and Rider sandals for men. They've also added ... Continue Reading...
