El
Fenomeno: Ukay*Ukay
Call it vintage... Call it classic....Here in the Philippines, it's fondly known as
Ukay*Ukay or U2.
We're talking about second-hand clothes, shoes, and bags. |
| Before, we used to say "second-hand" with embarrassment. Nowadays, when you would ask a Filipino where he got his retro-looking polo, he would say "I got it from an
Ukay*Ukay" with pride. |
|
Why is it popular here? For one thing, one can find one-of-a-kind pieces that could not be seen anywhere else (perfect for fashionistas).
More importantly, it's cheap! My cousin got an authentic pair of Versace jeans for Php150 (around
US$3). My mom got me a black Oroton bag and a sturdy brown leather tote for Php50 (USD1) a piece.

Do not speak English at all costs. You will soon realize that things cost more if you speak English or speak Tagalog with a twang.

Bring lots of change. Do not pay using large bills. It would be to your disadvantage if you appear to have lots of money.
|
|
» |
Have lots
and lots of patience. Browse through all racks - You
might miss out on a great item if you don’t!
|
|
» |
Bring a large plastic
(shopping bag) so both hands are free to browse through the racks
& ready to grab the interesting items.
|
|
» |
Buy items on the
spot - Chances are they might not be there the next time you come
back!
|
|
» |
Do not make the mistake of asking if they have
sizes, at all!
|
|
» |
Grab the items you want and do not let go till you get to the cashier even if you are unsure about
them - The moment you let go of an item, somebody might just be waiting
to grab it; if that should happens…sigh...…let go
and never get into a fight. Once you let go, its up for
grabs - That's Shopping Etiquette!

Haggle
and ..... haggle some more. Bargain for the lowest
prices!
|
|
» |
Lastly: Soak used clothes in hot water
& wash thoroughly to rid of any dirt and musty smell....and
avoid infections.

A
fabulous three-story Ukay*Ukay store in
Quiapo is now closed. This is also where
I found a beautiful black leather bag
for only P200 and a long-sleeved Morgan
de Toi shirt priced at P40. This store
was also a favorite of designer Puey Quiñones. |
| » |
There’s
another Ukay*Ukay near the corner of
West Avenue and Quezon Boulevard that
offers great bargains on merchandise
that would cost you thousands if you buy
them brand new. A child’s Laura Ashley
dress for PHP30, an Episode cocktail
dress for PHP40 and an exquisite lace
skirt also for PHP40. |

The
stores near Blumentrit Street along España
have unique and reasonably priced shoes
and bags. If you’re a bag lady who has
to have a purse in every color, this is
the place for you. If there is anything
second-hand that I still can’t bear to
wear, those are shoes but the Blumentrit
stores have cute stack-heeled Maryjanes
that look like Pradas at only P400
- price negotiable as usual. |
