Ukay Shop 16: ANGELOU'S UKAY UKAY

ANGELOU'S UKAY UKAY

Angelou's Ukay Ukay is the 3rd ukay shop in Sunshine Mall. Its still in the ground floor near Best of Baguio's Ukay Ukay. Their goods are all from the US as seen in their signage but honestly I'm not impressed with their selection. I havn't bought a single item from this store. The clothes are boring and stocks are relatively few considering they have a huge space. I have been here several times and it's always like that. This shop can be ideal for those who are looking for big sized clothes.

Ukay Article 2: RECESSIONISTA'S INSIDER TIPS

HOW TO SCORE IN AN UKAY UKAY:
RECESSIONISTA'S INSIDER TIPS
By: Bea Constantino and Leona Lavina-Panutat

Now that fashionistas are finding it hard to satiate their fashion urges, Manila has the best remedy: the ukay-ukay. Around for at least a decade, the ukay-ukay is not exactly a secret. Tucked inside Manila’s alleys and holes-in-the-wall, one needs to scour the streets and find the perfect ukay—every store houses different brands (sometimes original, most of the time, not) and styles. The most addicting thing about them? You rarely get the same thing twice!

Gone are the days when second-hand shopping was a no-no. Today, not only is it acceptable but anyone who has fashion cred has done it at least once. Fashionistas now get a bigger thrill in unearthing something fabulous for next to nothing than by buying the latest “it” thing. Finding something to-die-for amidst racks and racks of clothes is not an easy feat. Here’s SPOT’s 12-Step Battle Plan:

Ukay Shop 15: BEST OF BAGUIO'S UKAY UKAY

BEST OF BAGUIO'S UKAY UKAY

Best of Baguio's Ukay Ukay is located in Sunshine Mall at FTI Complex, Taguig. This is one of the 7 ukay ukay shops inside the mall and also one of the biggest. They only sell clothes with a few beddings. They have a good selection and price is also not expensive. When i saw it's name i got excited since it's "BEST OF BAGUIO'S" but upon seing their merchandise i cannot really say they're the BEST. Yes they have nice clothes but the brands are not very exciting. But it is one of the good shops in Sunshine Mall.

Surplus Boutique is located inside Sunshine Mall at FTI complex, Taguig City.

SURPLUS BOUTIQUE

When you enter the mall at the ground floor turn right and this is the first shop that you'll see. They only sell shoes and bags in this shop. They have a huge selection of bags but beware of the 'branded bags' as most of them are fake.
