Ukay Destination 7: ISETANN Recto

Sorry I havn't posted anything in a week. I have been very busy lately.

I'm getting alot of emails asking me to cover certain areas. I hope you understand that it's not easy to get around especially if you don't have the luxury of time. I usually go ukay ukay if i have free time after a meeting, so if i don't have anything to do in a certain place it would be too much of a hassle to go there just to go ukay shopping. If I have time, ok lang I can go.

I will also be objective about it. I'll feature first areas I havn't covered yet. So far I've covered Las Pinas, Muntinlupa, Paranaque, Pasay, Makati, and Taguig. So for this feature I'll cover Manila. There are several Ukay Ukay Destinations in Downtown Manila. One place and probably the most convenient is Isetann in Recto.

ISETANN

RECTO

Isetann Recto is an old mall in downtown manila. It has several shops and a department store. Not many people know that there are also ukay ukay shops here. How many you ask? only 2, but these two shops won't disappoint! The 2 shops are HUGE!!! Probably around 400-500 sqms each, that is just a wild guess. The Ukay Shops here are also branches of popular ukay shops in the metro.

The Ukay Shops here are.

1. RTW Surplus Center
2. Passerby Imported Dry Goods

RTW Surplus Center have several shops in Starmall Alabang, While Passerby is a branch of the Popular ukay shop in Cubao.

Again I'll discuss each shop separately so keep coming back for updates!

HOW TO GET THERE:
Recto, Manila
LRT 2 - get off at Recto Station.
LRT 1 - get off at Carriedo Station then ride a tricycle to Isetann.

Ukay Shop 44: MAGARBO 2 Starmall Las Pinas

MAGARBO 2

STARMALL LAS PINAS

This is the second Magarbo shop in Starmall Las Pinas. Unlike the first one this shop use the single pricing scheme, which is Php 100.00 for everything. And like the Magarbo shops in Starmall Alabang, Items become buy one take one, then 3 for Php 100.00, then 4 for Php 100.00. People ask if you can only buy 1 item if they are on sale, The answer is yes, but you still have to pay Php 100.00. You can't bargain to buy it for Php 25.00. So might as well take time to look for stuff. Alot of great finds here! One of my favorite shops!

Ukay Shop 43: MAGARBO Starmall Las Pinas

MAGARBO

STARMALL LAS PINAS

This is one of the two Magarbo Shops in Starmall Las Pinas. Although they carry the same name, they are not similar in concept, pricing wise. This shop is different from the other Magarbo shops, including the ones in Starmall Alabang, becuase their products are more expensive. Remember, Magarbo shops usually use the Php 100.00 for everything pricing scheme. The explanation? They've selected the nicer clothes for this shop, better clothes equates to higher price.

Take note that this shop only sells women's clothing. And it's a very small shop.

Ukay Shop 42: FASHION DE LITE Starmall Las Pinas

FASHION DE LITE
STARMALL LAS PINAS

Fashion De Lite is a popular Ukay Shop in Cubao and they also have a branch in the south, Located inside Starmall Las Pinas! This Ukay Shop sells alot of clothes and shoes with a few bags. Shoes are actually well priced, especially when on sale, and they have lots of it. Staff here are very friendly and its also a comfortable place to shop. It is bright, roomy, and airconditioned.

One thing I noticed about this shop is, it might be an extension of an Ukay Shop in Sucat! Extension meaning some of the unsold clothes in that shop is brought here! How did I know? The clothes I found in the sucat store I found here after a few weeks. Add to that the fact that I sometimes see their cashier in that Ukay Shop in Sucat. I didn't bother to ask but I'm pretty sure both shops are owned by only one person.
