FAN MAIL FRIDAYS: Where to buy authentic designer bags online in the Philippines

Happy Friday, folks! How's 2019 doing for you so far? I hope your year has started out great!

Today's FMF is from Eunice and she's asking where to get authentic luxury handbags.

Hi Martha!
Just wanted to ask a fashion-lifestyle question. Where can we usually buy genuine designer handbags in PH especially brands that are quite rare in the country like Strathberry? (Store/online). Thanks in Advance!
Eunice

Hi Eunice!

I love the question and I think you know why, if you're an avid reader of my blog. I love luxury handbags!

While I don't know where you can find Strathberry online and locally because it's a pretty rare brand, here are some websites where you can get authentic luxury designer goods at a good price! They may not carry Strathberry, but they do have hard-to-find brands like Cult Gaia, Roger Vivier, Delage, Moynat, and more!

1. LUISAVIAROMA

- Florence- based luxury goods retailer, Luisa Via Roma, is well- known in Italy and has been retailing goods since the 1930's. A popular Filipina luxury goods Blogger, Ingrid Chua of The Bag Hag Diaries, if I'm not mistaken, is a regular customer of the website.

2. NET-A-PORTER

- UK- based luxury retailer is one of the well- known websites here in the Philippines. Aside from the classics such as YSL, Balenciaga, Gucci, etc., they also carry up-and-coming designers.

3. MYTHERESA

 - My Theresa started in Munich, Germany and the website is now under the Neiman Marcus Group. So far, they have the best prices and most iconic pieces go on sale such as Givenchy Antigona; such a rare feast!

4. MACYNN

- Macynn is a personal buyer who caters to the upscale Filipino market. Cynthia, the owner, is a Filipina based in the Philippines and she carries classic designer brands along with hard-to-find ones like Faure Le Page, Moynat, and Delage. I got my Prada Tessuto Gaufre from her in 2012.

5. FARFETCH

- Headquartered in the UK, Farfetch is another famous luxury goods retailer. Aside from high end brands, they also feature high street and luxury brand collaborations such as Adidas X Stella McCartney and Yohji Yamamoto X Adidas, and contemporary high end designers such as Philip Lim, Alice and Olivia, and Acne Studios to name a few.

Here's a local directory of designer stores:

GREENBELT 4 AND 5, MAKATI CITY

SHANGRI-LA MALL, MANDALUYONG CITY
