Ukay Destination 3: SUNSHINE MALL TAGUIG

SUNSHINE MALL TAGUIG

Sunshine Mall is located inside FTI complex at Taguig City. There are 7 ukay ukay shops inside this mall but starting now i would blog about each shop separately. I like going to this mall because most ukay ukay shops here are inexpensive. Merchandise wise its not the best in Manila and I would only consider it average but if you want real bargains this mall is for you.

The ukay shops inside are:

Ground Floor
1. Surplus Boutique
2. Best of Baguio's Ukay-Ukay
3. Angelou's Ukay-Ukay
4. Iyaman Fashion House
5. Ukay-Ukay Shoes and Bags
6. Fashion Surplus Center
7. Sunshine Mall Shop 7

HOW TO GET THERE:
SUNSHINE MALL
From C5 take the east service road southbound.
Make a left turn going to FTI complex.
You'll see Sunshine mall in your left side.

Ukay Article 1: FASHION CENTS

Since this is a resource center I would also feature articles about ukay ukay that i've read and would like to share with you. Reading other people's experiences is a great way to learn tips and discover new ukay ukay shops. We'll start this feature with Fashion Cents by Iya P. Joson

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.
