More and more stores are opening in the Philippines… all the more reason to visit the Philippines? Yes of course! If you have a love for fashion, you will surely love it in my home country. And oh, if you think Philippines is just another third world country of some sort, think again. Perhaps you haven’t been to Manila, specifically to Makati, Alabang, Eastwood, and Ortigas just to name a few of the commercial districts. Of course, if its lovely landscapes and seascapes you’re after, the Philippines also have a lot of places to offer. But let me talk about shops for now.

Well, I’m not about to list down here all the stores I love (like what I did with the restaurants – to think that each day I remember something that I’ve forgotten to include, haha). Instead, I’m just here to feature the latest stores opening in the Philippines.

Another fellow TPFer (The Purse Forum where I’m a member), Mrs. Jackie T (the bag hag, Tresorie owner), has opened a new store at Power Plant Mall, Rockwell. If you haven’t been to Rockwell, make sure you do and once you’re there, visit Accessory Lab. Recently, boat loads of designer labels are sprouting over at Greenhills 5 (and we reckon a Hermes is on the works). But sadly, Chanel has yet to land Manila. That’s why I’m recommending to my fashionista friends over in Manila (and those who plang to visit the country) to drop by Accessory Lab. Mrs. Jackie T has generously brought in some Chanel merchandise in her store! A big reason to go!!! Hope she doesn’t mind me quoting her blog and borrowing her photo of her latest store:

Accessory Lab now carries exquisite charm necklaces from Daphne Oseña Paez (her first “consignment” in retail!), Janina Dizon Hoschka’s “lucky” white sapphire earrings and sliders in bangles made of Croc or Shagreen, Candy Dizon’s rough rubies ring as well as a very beautiful gold plated necklace with rutilated quartz, Victoria and Beatrice bangles made of robles wood, Hoopla hoop hammered earrings in bright amazonite, 18k pieces from Benjamin Favored Son, and I. Benjamin whimsical rings of 18k gold and precious stones. Accessory Lab also carries selected Goyard (st louis, fidji hobo), Hermes (evelyne, birkin, kelly), Chanel bags and merchandise.

Of course, it doesn’t end from there. There’s yet another new store in town, Trucco, which you can also find at Power Plant Mall. So perhaps it would be a good idea to hit Rockwell soon, eh?
