Don’t you just hate bumping into someone wearing exactly the same dress you bought from a boutique in a mall? If there’s anything we dislike about clothes bought from the popular retail stores, it is knowing that a lot of other people probably have the same thing.

Which is why we can’t help but appreciate online stores and start-up clothing lines that offer great alternatives to clothes bought from the mall. With their distinctive offerings you can be sure you run a smaller chance of finding anyone entering a room garbed exactly as you are.

If you’re currently looking for one-of-a-kind dresses, you might want to check out the designs of Dev et Zay. Their designs are unique, yet still wearable and mostly come in classic shades of black, white, and gray. If you’re tired of the usual girl dresses or the avante-garde styles, their collection is certainly worth giving a second look. What’s more, they are a steal at only P600 to P900 a piece.

Yet the brand brings to its accessories all the color and funkiness it steered clear of in their dresses. They offer hand-painted clutches, cuffs, and belts that come in loud hues and hip designs that are instant conversation pieces. Liven up your outfit with one of these pieces.

Check out their designs after the jump.
