Words by Candice Sayson Although several years back, people would rather be skinned alive than admit their stuff came from the ukay-ukay, it is now common knowledge from the elitista to the common tao that our friendly neighborhood thrift shop can hold a chest of treasures. For people who want their money’s worth (or are simply cash-strapped), and still want to look fashionably beautiful, ukay-ukay is the way to go.
Ukay-ukay is so named because one has to dig or sift through the clothes to find a rare treasure. Originally goods from humanitarian groups abroad, these second-hand clothes, bags, and shoes are outside help for the Filipino poor and needy victims of calamities and the like. Business-minded people, however, decided to sell the goods at a very low price, and thus, the industry of the ukay business is born.
The ukay-ukay is undeniably one of the places to go to for cheap, interesting, and oftentimes branded clothes. But not everyone has the patience and mettle to go ukay-ukay shopping. Finding the perfect buy in the mounds of clothes takes a sharp eye, persistence, and high tolerance for the signature smell (and sometimes heat) of the ukay-ukay stall.
That’s why here in Vestida, we go through the rigors of thrift shopping for you because that’s what we love to do! Armed with our 20/20 vision, passion for fashion and clothes, and patience to "ukay" through the mounds of goods, we bring you the best buys one can find. Vestida is ukay-ukay shopping made easier. Now you can be the fabulous, fashionable you!
