Country and Classy
Hello! In case you missed the announcement, you can purchase these items at our Multiply store in the meantime. Anyway, I hope you like new boards - the inspiration is heady, intoxicating romance. Just perfect as the year is closing and we start to reflect on what we’ve done and felt, thus experiencing nostalgia.

We Are Moving To Multiply Temporarily
I’m sure you guys have noticed that the website has been wonky lately. Links don’t go where they should and sometimes it’s impossible to make a purchase. While we’re still fixing the bug in the system, you can buy our items at our The Ukay Manila Multiply store.
Please don’t hesitate to email us if you have any inquiries. Thanks for the patience!

For updates, simply check out...
The Ukay Manila Store Has Recovered from Ondoy!...
Good news everyone - the Ukay Manila Store has bounced back from the damage done by Ondoy and we’re resuming store operations today. All shipping and transactions will be attended to starting this morning. To those who made purchases last week, we apologize for being unable to send your items immediately.
Since the house is still a little bit of a mess, we’re unable to take photos of the new...

Sale and New Arrivals Moved To Next Week
Due to the super typhoon Ondoy, we won’t be able to put up new items and organize the sale items this week. We’ve been flooded, like tens of thousands of people here in Metro Manila and experienced food/water shortage. Lauren’s house has been totaled.
We hope you guys are okay though. There’s a typhoon brewing up in the east so prepare and stay safe. See you next week!

Orange and Rose
Thanks to everyone who almost cleaned out our inventory! The End of August sale was a smashing sucess, as well as the past two weeks’ new stocks. I am soooo happy. Watch out for promos and new non-ukay products soon that I’m sure you’ll love. Promise.
Anyway, I made two new boards today.
Orange sun dress, P400

The Store Website is Fixed! Yay!

If you encounter any problems browsing through the site or purchasing an order, please let us know. Thanks for bearing with the inconvenience!
We Are Moving to Multiply Temporarily
Hi everyone! Looks like the website glitch is a little more serious than it was yesterday; we’re still having problems with the individual product pages and shopping cart system. Fortunately, everything we have in the store can also be found at our Multiply site. Until we resolve this problem, please do all your shopping at http://ukaymanilastore.multiply.com and email your orders to...

New Arrivals!
Studded Black Jacket, P400
This week’s batch of new items is a lovely mix of warm weather clothes, sunny day wear, and frocks for formal occasions. We love the studded black jacket, ruffled beige cardigan, and the little black dress for their timeless versatility, but all the other clothes have just as much mileage if you style them right. Check out the dresses, skirts, and tops & jackets...
Inspiration of the day
I love this top! It can be worn with dainty skirts and tiny ballet flats or with edgy jeans and dominatrix shoes. For this board though I picked a sweet n’ delicate theme. This top is a must have in my book. If no one buys it I’ll just keep it lol.
An intricate dress like this deserves some simple accessorizing. Wear purple/blue eyeshadow and pair it with nude lips.

Inspirations of the day
I’m sure you’ve heard of Polyvore before. It’s a nifty online app that lets you create inspiration boards using items actually on sale. I read about Polyvore for the longest time but never bothered to use it - that is, until last night! I stayed up creating looks for items on sale at the Ukay Manila Store. I must say that the whole thing was incredibly fun. It also gave my imagination free lease...

Headline: New Ukay Manila Store Partner!
After an unrelated series of events, furious typing, and mad brainstorming, I, Liz Lanuzo, am now part of the Ukay Manila Store with Lauren. I’ll be in charge of scouring ukay-ukay stores in Manila to bring you the best vintage finds at prices too-good-to be true. In fact, I spent the past week feverishly rummaging through racks and racks of clothes! Whew. Honestly, it’s tiring, but I made sure to...
Major Changes are Coming to the Ukay Manila Store!

The bad news is that those who have been waiting for the new items to appear will have to wait til Monday, because there are no new arrivals today. But there’s a reason for that, and this is where all the good news starts.
Starting this week, the Ukay Manila Store will be run by me (Lauren) and Liz Lanuzo of...

The Ukay Manila Store is On Vacation! Expect New...
Hi everyone! Tomorrow marks the start of my 3-week trip out of the country and since this is a one-woman operation, the Ukay Manila Store will be on vacation too. Well, not exactly. I will be back on July 19 and you can expect new arrivals on July 22, Wednesday. You can still make purchases at the store while I’m away; I’ll be checking my email periodically and reserving items. However, I cannot...
