FASHION CENTS by Iya P. Joson

If someone offers you a used pair of jeans at a dirt-cheap price, would you accept it?

The glass of iced tea you’re drinking now could’ve bought you an interesting tee. Your roundtrip cab fare from Ateneo to Eastwood may have given you a snazzy, printed dress instead. That money you spent on a box of pizza? It would have been a unique leather jacket resting ruggedly on your shoulders.

Which then is easier to stomach? Such is the apt question for anyone curious and willing enough to enter the fashionably sound, exhilaratingly cheap and unpredictable world of ukay-ukay.

Ukay Shop 13: TERRY JOY FASHION

TERRY JOY FASHION

Terry Joy Fashion is one of my favorite ukay shops. Not because of its size because its only around 20-25 sq meters. Not because its convenient because its not airconditioned and its cramped. Its one of my favorite because of their selection! Here i was able to get a COMME DES GARCONS, a MARNI, Lots of UNIQLO and ZARA in one shipment! Its also very easy to ask for a discount, not that you still need it because the prices are already low. New arrivals are priced high but they lower their prices fast. From 150-180 it becomes 75, then 50, then 3 for 100.

If you're from the south its worth a visit since there are several ukays in the area. would blog about the others in a different post soon, I'm just gathering photos. So just keep coming back!

HOW TO GET THERE:
From South Luzon Expressway take Sucat Exit.
Go straight until you reach Lianas Evacom, turn left before it.
You'll see it at your left right after 7/11.
