Why Cebuanos love Rustan’s
Gwen Garcia, Congresswoman
MANILA, Philippines - The grand launching of Rustan’s at Ayala Center Cebu is a testament to the stellar rise of Rustan’s and the continued economic growth of Cebu. As a representative of the Cebuanos, I’d like to convey our collective admiration and gratitude to RCC founder Ambassador Bienvenido Tantoco Sr., RCC chairman Nedy Tantoco and RCC president Donnie Tantoco for choosing Cebu as the home of Rustan’s in the Visayas.
Nora Sol, fine furniture purveyor
My warmest congratulations on the new Rustan’s! This only shows that the business has progressed and grown exceedingly well. Very classy and with impeccable service — shopping is a joy. How lucky for Cebuanos!
Amparito Lhuillier, fashion icon and philanthropist
Rustan’s is simply fabulous. It exudes every bit of the aesthetic elegance it is known for. It brings together an impressive range of international brands and exclusive collections. Whoever you are, it’s the place to go for a little bit of luxury. Showcasing fine designs and craftsmanship, it is a shopper’s paradise. Definitely a dream come true for Cebuanos who love the finer things in life.
Teresin Mendezona, event stylist
Rustan’s is the ultimate feel-good store. Need I say more?
Marguerite Lhuillier, creative artist
The Rustan’s grand opening was an enjoyable evening at the new wing of Ayala Center Cebu. It is wonderful to see them update the local branch to world class standards, fit for the Rustan’s prestigious brand name. I was certainly impressed by the design and ambiance of the new store, filled with a complete array of globally-known labels. I would rate it at par alongside the top retail establishments in Paris and New York. I look forward to visiting Rustan’s again and again and again.
Mariquita Yeung, humanitarian advocate
Cebu is truly blessed that Rustan’s has finally expanded its store. It’s a one-stop shop where we can find almost everything that we need. Gone are the days of having to go to Rustan’s Makati for we have our very own, which I am personally extremely proud of.
Iris Arcenas, luxury accessories entrepreneur
I grew up with Rustan’s and I love how the store has evolved through the years. I’m so excited that a lot of my favorite brands have made Rustan’s their home. I adore the choices and the present visual merchandising of the store. It’s definitely at par with the world’s best. Bravo and l look forward to explore it even more; like uncovering a whole new universe!
Arcy Gayatin, fashion designer
Rustan’s and I go a long way. In 1983, I bought my Christian Dior wedding shoes there. Expecting my first child in Davao, I would visit Rustan’s every time I was home to buy things. I’m sure I’m not the only Cebuano who shares and will continue to share a history with the store. I’m glad the new Rustan’s is even bigger than the one I had come to know. It’s both a testament to its faith in the Cebuanos and our people’s faith in the brand.
