Yes! I am a fan of ukayukay. I especially love buying those branded jackets (since I work in a really cold office). Sometimes it is a really good find for me if I get to buy those jackets at 50 pesos. A really good washing (i mean REALLY REALLY good) is all it takes and it's good to go!
In connection with this, I always see underwear being sold in ukayukays, and I wonder if there are really people who buy them in particular. I find it quite unhygienic compared to shirts, jackets, pants, et cetera. Can you just imagine where they came from and who wore them? hahaha.. :)

i have not tried to wear those things. i think if you wash it right put perfume,downy and etc, you will love to wear always even they wore from unknown people..Most things to buy are shirts,blouse,bed sheet etc..those are long lasting..

Hello befrindwithme!
Yes, you are right Filipinos love to buy at Ukay Ukay. They get more value with their money and they have a lot of choices. They can get branded products at a lower price. One should just be patient in finding the best deal and the best product at Ukay Ukay. I myself goes to Ukay Ukay from time to time, and luckily I can get the best deal sometimes.

Hello. I'm from the Philippines too. :) I would choose ukay ukay clothes over brand new clothes that are not in good quality. I would not name of what country it is made.. Ukay2 clothes and items are lesser in price too compared to brand new clothes

Just make sure you laundry them before you actually use them, probably iron it first before using them too. Yeah, i think some clothes can be faked and make look llike new for some reason. right now buying clothes from an ukay store is a possible choice though. anyways, you do have a nice day

I agree to wash them and iron them first. for hygienic reasons. you don't know who wore them before you.

I also buy clothes from ukay ukay because they are cheap and have good quality.You are right.Sometimes second hand clothes are even better than those brand new fake smuggled clothes.
Some people buy stuff from ukay ukay and sell them again online.I don't do it,but I am pretty sure there are people who do that.:)

Hello bfrind, I know there are people who are interested because they like to buy it better clean it and laundry it thoroughly because if they don't then they might have disease which was reported back on the news a few days ago. there are so many where ever i go here and there i think. Have a nice day

I also enjoy ukay2 but I go in those stores that really offer the branded items. We have a few here in our place and I have bought a good pair of Adidas shoes for a lesser price. It's authentic and in fact it has lasted for more than 3 years now. We Filipinos love bargains but so sad that big companies do not at all give coupon discount on their products unlike in some countries where people only pay alomost half of the price with the use of coupons.

I used to frequent ukay ukays before when I was looking for long sleeves and other formal wears and most of the time, I do find what I am looking for. The quality is good and you'll have many brands to choose from in just one area which is really convenient compared to having to look in the malls. There is also the thrill of finding and securing the item that you want in the midst of other bargain hunters :)
