Ukay Shop 34: RTW SURPLUS CENTER 4

RTW SURPLUS CENTER 4

This is the 4th RTW Surplus Center in Starmall Alabang, and this is not the last! This just proves that ukay ukay is one good business to get into.

Anyway even if this shop is huge they only sell clothes, you have to go to their other branch i featured earlier if you want to buy shoes and bags. I found quite a few great finds in this shop, But as usual there are more choices for women.

Ukay Shop 33: IYAMAN FASHION HOUSE Starmall Alabang

IYAMAN FASHION HOUSE

STARMALL ALABANG

Here's another popular ukay chain in Manila, Iyaman Fashion House. This branch is not as huge compared to their other outlets but you won't get disappointed visiting this shop. They have clothes, shoes, and bags! Selection is decent and pricing is great also.

From regular ukay prices it becomes Php 50, then 3 for Php 100, then 4 for Php 100, I think some clothes even go on sale as low as Php 10!

Ukay Shop 32: RTW SURPLUS CENTER 3

RTW SURPLUS CENTER 3

We're back at Starmall Alabang! I would now feature the remaining ukay shops in that mall, starting with another RTW Surplus Center. This outlet is their third in the mall. Its also smaller compared to their other shops and that means less choices. They only sell clothes and most of their stuff are for women. Very few choices for men. Nothing much to say really because selection isn't that great either.

Ukay Shop 31: IYAMAN LAS PINAS

IYAMAN FASHION HOUSE

LAS PINAS

Iyaman Fashion House is one of the more popular ukay ukay chains in manila. As I have featured earlier, they have shops in Sunshine Mall at Taguig and also at Starmall Alabang. They have more branches around the metro, and I would feature them eventually.

This branch is located at Las Pinas, along Alabang Zapote road. Probably one of their biggest branch. The space is huge and that means alot of choices. You'll probably spend so much time looking at all their stuff from clothes to shoes and bags. Its a good thing that the place is not cramped and also airconditioned.

HOW TO GET THERE:
From South Luzon Expressway take the Alabang Exit
Go to Alabang Zapote Road
You'll see it on your right infront of Starmall Las Pinas

If you're coming from Cavite it's on your left.

Ukay Shop 30: RABERLY PASAY

RABERLY PASAY

Raberly is one of the more popular ukay chains in manila. I think they have 3 ukay outlets, correct me if i'm wrong, the first one in quezon city, second one in manila, and the pasay branch being the third one.

Raberly Pasay is our first ukay shop from Pasay Rotonda. It is located along EDSA south bound before you reach Metropoint Mall. The shop has 2 floors. The first floor houses the clothes, while the second floor houses the shoes and bags. It looks huge from the outside but really its not big.

Clothes are ok, shoes are great but i find it too expensive! Would you pay 1,500-1,800 for a pair of second hand shoes from Zara!? That's almost the price of a brand new Zara shoes when its on sale! Some shoes are even priced above 2,000. I usually wait come sale time because i'm really not willing to spend that much on second hand shoes.

All in all it is still worth checking out because they have great stuff, the place is airconditioned, and there are several other ukay shops in the area!

Ukay Shop 29: UKAY BUENDIA MAKATI

UKAY BUENDIA MAKATI

This is one of the 2 (so far) ukay shops I saw along Buendia avenue in Ayala Center Makati. This one is very near the Petron station at Makati Ave. You can park your car at petron and walk along buendia ave. Located at New Solid Bldg. beside Maybank and opposite PNB.

This ukay shop has a huge space! Aside from clothes they also have a huge selection of shoes and some bags. I've spotted a few authentic designer bags the last time i went there. But just like any other ukay shop in manila they have lots of fakes also. So again as an advice do your research if you intend to buy one.

Clothes are a bit expensive, rent im sure is a factor, but you can really find some great stuff here. It's fairly new so i havn't seen them on sale. Ukay experience though is very comfortable because its airconditioned. Again shoes are great.

HOW TO GET THERE:

Ukay Shop 28: OCTAVIAN RTW 2

OCTAVIAN RTW 2

This is one of the 2 Octavian RTW shops in Starmall Alabang. This is also one of my favorites in the mall simply because they are the biggest shop in the mall. Selection is also good. It would take you hours if you would look at each item because the shop is really huge. They also sell beddings so if you're looking for one this is the shop to go. As for the staff they are snob at first but you can make your way to charm them for discount.

LIFE STYLE FASHION 2

This is the second Life Style Fashion shop in Starmall Alabang, the first one is in the basement level. This shop is located on the first level opposite Octavian RTW. They only sell clothes. Their new arrivals are a bit expensive, unlike the one in the basement. It is also not easy to ask for a discount from them.

OCTAVIAN RTW

Octavian RTW is the 6th ukay shop in Starmall Alabang and also located on the first level very near RTW Surplus Center 2. This shop also mainly sells shoes and bags but they also have a section for scarves and a few clothing. This is one of the 2 Octavian RTW shops in the mall so I assume this is where the first Octavian put the clothes that were not able to sell.

Ukay Shop 25: RTW SURPLUS CENTER 2

RTW SURPLUS CENTER 2

This is the second RTW Surplus Center. It is right beside and connected to the first RTW Surplus Center shop. They sell shoes, bags, and children's clothing. They have a huge selection of bags and they are well priced, some are even very cheap. But I find the shoes on the expensive side. Staff are very friendly and you can ask for discount. Beware though of 'designer bags' as most of them are fake.

Ukay Shop 24: RTW SURPLUS CENTER

RTW SURPLUS CENTER

This is the first of the severel RTW Surplus Center in Starmall Alabang. This Shop is located in the first level of the mall and beside another RTW surplus center that sells shoes and bags. I find this shop just average when it comes to selection, i've been here a couple of times already and still havn't purchased something really nice, except for a few shirts. I also find it really difficult that some of the clothes are hung high close to the ceiling! Sales people here though are very friendly.

Ukay Shop 23: LIFE STYLE FASHION

LIFE STYLE FASHION

Life Style Fashion is again located at the basement level of Starmall Alabang. It's very near Magarbo 2nd Look. This shop sells clothes and shoes. I don't usually buy shoes from ukay ukay but i bought from this shop! Aside from their fairly wide selection of shoes, they are in very good condition and most of all very inexpensive! New arrivals are priced at 350 some even cheaper and you can still ask for discount!

I really hate it when ukay ukay shops sell shoes for almost 2k but this shop is one of the exemptions! So this is definitely a must see if you're looking for shoes. And it's a bonus that their clothes are also priced well.

Ukay Shop 22: MAGARBO 2ND LOOK

MAGARBO 2ND LOOK

This shop is located on the other end of Starmall Alabang , opposite Overseas RTW, at the basement level.

This is one of my favorite shops in the mall! First, because they have really good selection. Clothes, I believe are shipped from Hong Kong, so choices are very fashionable and you can find good brands.

Second they have excellent pricing, all clothes are priced at 100 pesos! So even the usual expensive stuff like jackets, jeans, and pants are priced at 100 pesos! And here's the good part from 100 pesos it becomes 2 items for 100 pesos. And eventually it becomes 3 items for 100! Who wouldn't love that! So far that's the lowest price I saw from them, I'm not sure if it still gets lower, I still have to check.

Third their clothes are well arranged and grouped according to color. It may not be of great help for others like me really because when I go ukay I still check everything and not limit myself by certain colors! But still it looks nice and less of an ukay if stores take further steps to make their ukay shops more appealing. It may also be of great help for people who only look for certain colors and don't bother check the others.

Fourth they have good and several fitting rooms! This is really important because most ukay shops have bad fitting rooms. Most shops only use cloths but Magarbo has dedicated fitting rooms.

This is one of the 2 Magarbo shops in Starmall Alabang maybe that's why it's called 2nd Look. This shop is the bigger one.

Overseas RTW is located on the basement level of Starmall Alabang. You'll see it on one end of the mall. They sell clothes and also have a huge selection of shoes. Selection is just average but everytime i'm at the mall they're always on sale. Staff are also friendly.

Ukay Destination 4: STARMALL ALABANG

STARMALL ALABANG

Starmall Alabang is the former Metropolis Mall. If you are looking for ukay ukay malls in Manila this is probably one of the best and also my favorite! It is ukay ukay heaven! It is airconditioned and the distinct ukay smell is not so strong. It's very comfortable to do your ukay shopping here. There are also several food outlets so you can take a break before you go ukay again! It's always worth a trip going to this side of Manila because the mall alone has 15 ukay ukay shops! There are actually more outside the mall but we would discuss them in a separate entry.

The ukay shops in the mall are listed below:

Basement

1. Overseas RTW
2. Magarbo 2nd Look

Ukay Shop 20: SUNSHINE MALL SHOP 7

SUNSHINE MALL SHOP 7

This this the 7th and last ukay shop inside Sunshine Mall. It is right beside Fashion Surplus Center. They have clothes, shoes, and bags, but very few choices for shoes, bags, and men's clothing. But this is one of the inexpensive shops inside Sunshine Mall. Great if you are looking for bargains.

Ukay Shop 19: FASHION SURPLUS CENTER

FASHION SURPLUS CENTER

This is the 6th ukay shop inside Sunshine Mall. It says in their signage '365 DAYS NEW ARRIVALS', an exageration, but the truth is pretty close! New arrivals are brought in weekly! And their pricing is amazing! During Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays clothes are priced at 100 pesos. Tuesdays it becomes 50! Wednesdays 40! Thursdays 30! and by Friday it's down to 20 pesos! How good is that! before it can even go down to 10 pesos but they increased their prices. Still extremely cheap. Items are mainly from the US so expect us brands but selection is already ok considering their pricing. They have clothes, shoes, and bags.

Ukay Shop 18: Ukay Ukay Shoes and Bags

SHOP 5 SUNSHINE MALL

This is the fifth shop in Sunshine Mall. It doesn't have a name but I assume it is also owned by Iyaman since their signage looks similar. The signage indicates shoes and bags but they also have clothes and toys. Clothes are cheap, new arrivals being priced at around 100 pesos, later on it becomes 20 or 10 pesos. They also have several children's clothes.

Iyaman Fashion House has several branches all over the metro. I've been to most of their shops but this particular one is again located inside Sunshine Mall at the FTI Complex. I'll Blog about the other branches in separate posts.

Iyaman carries clothes, shoes, and bags with good selection for all. I really don't buy shoes from ukay ukays but when i saw an Issey Miyake shoes in this shop i couldn't resist! Too bad it's not my size.

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.
