I've just been going on regular trips to Divisoria lately and I'm hooked! Inspite of the traffic, the dust, pollution, heat, very narrow streets, chaos...I can name all the inconveniences...I still find it a shopping haven. The prices are reasonably very very affordable. Some of the best finds for me are the fashion accessories like clips, necklaces, earings, pendants, etc. Malls charge an arm and a leg for the exact same item. I just get kinda lost...they have some sort of 'chaotic system' of organizing the goods per street. Are you familiar what street is assigned to a particular item/goods?

I know what you mean. My cousin and I love going to divisoria. Yeah, it's really dusty and there's a lot of people. But you'd still love it because of hundreds of affordable shops which offer different goods! My cousin and I love going there especially in the Christmas season! The stores have a lot of sales and they offer more things for you to buy. It's also fun to crash to other people when they start pushing. 
I'm too morbid I know, it's just funny when you think about it. Just don't bring expensive things when you go there, they might get stolen.
Anyway, they also have cool night markets and you'll definitely feel Christmas when you're shopping outside with the night breeze cooling you down. 
With regard to the location of items or goods, what are you looking for particularly? I'm not an expert of divi, but I think I know a lot of the goods sold there and where they're located.

hi there! yes i usually visit divisoria. there are lots of stuffs there. i know particular streets like tabora st. when you like to find unique and beautiful souvenir for weddings and birthdays and latest christmas decors too, and when you are looking for gowns or cloth you can find it at ylaya st., if you need balloons and other party needs you can buy good ones and native products and decors available at the new divisoria mall lower grounds. i used to go there with my mom especially when we had family and church events. but i don't buy clothes. aside from it doesn't fit my size, i doubt it will last longer for me so i prefer buying accessories and other trinkets at divisoria which are pretty good souvenirs and gifts. and what i love about the place, the latest fashion statement. filipinos are creative they really are. happy mylotting and happy visiting divisoria.
