H&M Philippines

[_Cathy_]

Recently a lot of brands are opening their first store in Megamall. I am very curios to see how Megamall looks like now.

I will be happier if Primark opens a store in the Philippines. That's affordable fashion for me

H&M at last

After years of being teased about H&M’s coming to the Philippines, the mothership has truly arrived (cue screams and piggy banks breaking).

The proof is in the pudding or, in this case, the racks and racks of clothes and accessories from the brand’s Fall collection.

Because H&M was brought here by the mother company (Hennes & Mauritz AB) as opposed to a franchise, showroom manager Nikki Verzo says that shoppers can expect all the stuff they see abroad available soon in Manila, designer collaborations included. H&M Philippines is still mum on when exactly the three-floor boutique will open at Megamall’s Fashion Hall, except that it will happen third quarter of this year (if you’re optimistic, the start of the third quarter is July, so H&M could be open by next month or August).

But since it will definitely be open by the third quarter, fans of designer Alexander Wang better start saving up and practicing how to sleep while standing up, as he will be the first designer collaboration to be available at H&M Philippines.

The Alexander Wang x H&M collection is expected to roll out in stores globally by Nov. 6. You won’t need to fly to Hong Kong or Singapore, but we’re sure you’ll still face a long line of fashion worshippers who want first dibs on the collection.

To see more of the collection, visit H&M | H&M PH. Prices are already listed in Philippine pesos.
What you need to know

1. H&M’s first Philippine boutique will open at the Mega Fashion Hall wing in SM Megamall.

2. It is slated to open in the third quarter of this year, between July and September (hey, July is 10 days away).

3. The store will be more than 3,000 square meters with three floors.

4. The flagship boutique is a “full concept store,” so apparel and accessories—both seasonal and basics—will be available for women, men, teens and kids.

5. The first collection to be launched coinciding with the boutique’s opening is Autumn 2014. The theme for men’s wear for A/W 2014 is “modern mod mixed with Parisian cool, London attitude and New York sleekness,” while pieces for women were inspired by the bohemian spirit.

6. H&M is best known for combining fashion and affordability. Expect price points to be the same. A slinky black crepe slip dress we saw during the A/W preview goes for P899, while there are jersey dresses that retail for P599.

Have not checked prices of H&M in Megamall, but hopefully they retain prices of other Asian countries (i.e. HK and Japan where polos are about 700-1k each)

The influx of brands such as Cotton On, Uniqlo, F21 and now H&M have brought local brands such as Folded and Hung to their knees. Dati mas premium sila sa Bench but now parang permanently naka-sale na.

How are Zara, Old Navy and Mango doing also? I noticed the stuff in local Uniglo isn't that up to date and their UT line lacking compared to the HK stores...

[jhnkvn]

I'll pass on them. I'm still a Uniqlo fan through and through.

[lowslowbenz]

Most bang for the buck nga Uniqlo.

[K.I.L.L.]

I have both H&M and Uniqlo clothes. Comparing both of them, I like the fit and materials better on Uniqlo though the styles are better with H&M.

Don't think they are open for business yet but the link provided by Cathy in the first post already shows the prices in PHP.

maganda yung bagong wing nang Megamall.. parang SM makati or Shangrila na..

In the few times I went inside a Uniqlo store, wala akong nagustuhan sa mga designs. Parang iba dito compared sa Japan and HK.

I think Zara and Mango are doing great here in the Phils.

Do you go to the Mango in Starmills? :D They're on sale now and the prices are really good.... lower than the Manila outlets.

Palagi lang kami sa Marquee. Don't know if nakapunta na si kumander sa Starmills.

The Mango and Brands Mart in Starmills is worth the trip naman. Nag mumukmok nalang ako sa Handyman habang naghihintay sa misis.

Basta DIY'er. That is the only place where my wife cannot monitor (and oppose) the things that I buy, garage tools, waxes, odd bits, etc. Before she's even thru with her (shopping) rounds, I had already squirreled away the booty in the car's trunk. Including that latest issue of Esquire or Rouge.

And yes, those Jack Links too ............ :D

Most real men have skills and like to hang around hardware stores, materials stores, auto parts and tool stores. The other kind like to hang around salons and perfume stores har har har

I see more and more of the H&M stores...

However, I perceive that people patronize Uniqlo more than H&M.... Parang mas maraming attractive choices kasi.

Can H&M stay competitive?

I don't patronize either store but looking at the storefronts, mas "mukhang mahal" at "hindi pasok sa budget" ang H&M.

I'd check out Uniqlo first based on that perception alone. I'd assume other casual shoppers on a budget would think the same way.
