Third World Thrift.

Time always allows for one to indulge in a rummage or two in the seas of second hand treasures. In filipino to rummage is Ukay Ukay, which can also be translated to the street just as UK. We take a day (or maybe a few in all honesty) to scour the hidden pockets of Manila for some fun little finds. These vintage threads and specs not only fill the void that screams when time has lapsed from our last treasure hunt, they ultimately fund and fuel our social projects. Profits from the sales of those that manage to escape our wardrobes are re-invested into development projects or deconstructed to create innovative new products, like our present fan project. The journey is just as or even more important than the find, so here’s a peek at thrift on the flip side.
