When it comes to shopping in the Philippines, Manila seems to have the edge over other cities in terms of variety, and having the latest collections from both local and imported labels. I know of friends in Cebu, Ilo-ilo, Zamboanga, for example, who would fly to Manila periodically just to do their shopping.
There is a store in Cebu, however, that is making its mark in the local fashion/retail scene. Says Diane Uy, owner of What A Girl Wants:
“We have noticed that retail outlets here in Cebu City are not as updated and do not have as much variety as their Manila counterparts. We wanted to change this with What A Girl Wants. It is our philosophy to give the Cebuanas the best that fashion has to offer. Our line includes, apparel, shoes, bags, and accessories sourced here in the Philippines and in neighboring Asian countries.”
