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!

HOW TO GET THERE:
PASAY ROTONDA

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:
Buendia, Ayala Center Makati.
Park at Petron Makati Ave.

Get The Look 4: MARC BY MARC JACOBS S2010


MARC BY MARC JACOBS SPRING 2010
White T-Shirt
Blue Cropped Pullover
Black Shorts

UKAY VERSION
White T-Shirt - Thrifted (Php 70.00)
Blue Pullover with Hood - Thrifted (Php 35.00)
Black Shorts - Thrifted (Php 40.00)

TOTAL AMOUNT: Php 145.00!
God bless ukay ukay! hahahaha! Imagine to get the look of this Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring 2010 ensemble I just spent Php 145.00 (around $3)! That won't even be enough for me to watch a movie!
Speaking of movies I think this getup is perfect if you're going to the movies. The pullover can keep you warm and when you step outside you can either take it off or just pull the sleeves shorter.
The pullover I got is not cropped unlike the marc jacobs one but it has a very interesting cut. The sleeves becomes bigger as it closes in to your body. Very nice detail when worn.
Hope this post inspired you again to go ukay!
Keep coming back for more designer looks done ukay style!
