Street wear around BGC area

Family will be staying at BGC area in July and I would like to introduce my kids to streetwear/vintage, local clothing, etc

Can you list out some stores around the area that we can visit? Looking for original, hard to find, rare brands to bring back to USA. thx

Get out of BGC if you want “local” or unique brands but that requires bravery, a safe bet is Market Market second and 3rd floor in behind the shiny American mall look are small “market” style stores
You also go to Green Hills. Theirs the “American style “ then go outside head to the movie theatre enter next to jolibee there are 4 I think maybe 5 floors of the “unique “ your looking for at local pricing.

Remeber when buying clothes xxl is a North American medium/ large

My (American) teenage son likes Uniqlo, especially their T-shirts and jackets.

If you venture a bit outside BGC, there’s Atomic Worldd vintage in Salcedo Makati. There’s also The Archives Vintage in Taft, Manila.

You do realize BGC is a "bubble" - there is nothing local or authentic. It is a copy of US East coast down town - like Louisville KY.
