Great Ukay Places For First Timers!

by Joanne Millares September 26, 2017 Shopping




Nowadays, aesthetic clothes can easily be mistaken for something expensive, but you don’t always have to spend a lot for stylish clothing. As you may have seen/heard, Ukay-Ukay is becoming a fad again and it is helping a lot of people save money and still look good at the same time. 

Here are great places to go ukay shopping for first timers:

Makati Cinema Square

Makati Cinema Square (MCS) used to be the ‘it’ mall back in the days. Now, it’s a worn-down building with a vintage bowling alley/billiard place, few food chains, tiangge, and Ukay-Ukays. Located at the ground floor, you will see a selection of clothings, bags, and even shoes!

What’s nice about MCS is that many artsy people or bloggers buy here, as well. It has nice varieties and it’s air-conditioned—what’s not to love? Perfect for your first time thrifting! MCS is also just across Little Tokyo, so you might want a Japanese food trip after your shopping haul (since you saved your wallet a bunch of cash thanks to cheap ukay finds!)

Price Range: PHP 100.00 – PHP 450.00
Address: Makati Square, Chino Roces Ave, Legazpi Village, Makati

Anonas Mall

This is considered to be the best Ukay place for thrift shop experts. The Anonas Mall is 4-storeys high and you could just imagine what you can find in all those floors! Most bloggers choose this place as their favorite and it might be yours, too!

It’s really convenient to go here: you just ride the LRT 2 to Anonas Station and then go the exit and it will lead you to the mall. Happy shopping!

Price Rage: PHP 50.00 – PHP 300.00
Address: Anonas, Quezon City

Ukay-Ukay, Tagaytay

While enjoying the nice breeze in Tagaytay, you might want to drop by a famous Ukay place there so you can have a souvenir!

This Ukay hub went viral just recently for all the right reasons. The place is surprisingly big and offers a lot of items—clothes, belts, bags, shoes, and even toys for kids! It isn’t that cheap like in Carriedo, but the diversity and the open space is worth going to.

PS: The bags there are actually good. If it weren’t for the color, I would’ve bought a nice laptop bag.

Price Range: PHP 100.00 – PHP 400.00
Address: Awagi Building, Emilo Aguinaldo Highway, Silang Crossing East, Tagaytay, 4120 Cavite

Baguio Night Market

Personally, this is my favorite. Every time I go to Baguio, I make sure I drop by the Night Market to make a haul. For, at most PHP 20.00, you can get fur coats and other fancy jackets that will cost a lot in stores!

Aside from clothes, the Night Market offers many things: food, wallet, gadgets, accessories, bags, caps, socks, pajamas—you name it. You can find many trinkets to your liking as long as you’re willing to explore the whole market that stretches up to a kilometer!

This is only open from 9PM to 1AM, so ready yourself and try to have fun in this unique Baguio experience!

Price Range: PHP 20.00 – PHP 500.00
Address: Bayanihan Center, Otek Street, near Burnham Park
