MANILA, Philippines - Subic may already have a reputation for duty-free shopping, but nothing beats the deals that can be found at the Harbor Point Style Souk. Until June 30, popular brands set up shop bazaar-style in Harbor Point’s first Style Souk. Shoppers are intrigued by both the wide array of merchandise on display, like eyewear, cosmetics, shoes, luggage, accessories and apparel, mostly at 50-percent off the retail price.
For the rest of the week, bargain hunters can enjoy scouring through stands and racks of discounted merchandise from well-loved brands such as Solo, Freeway, Human, North Face, Samsonite, Columbia, Dickies, Toms, Nothing But H2O, Team Manila, Travel Club, Fudgerock, Quiksilver, Ideal Vision, Mr. Lee, RRJ, Bratpack, Nautica, G3, GBX, and Res.Toe.Run. Those who prefer to purchase with their credit cards are also welcome at the BPI Amore booth, which accepts credit card applications and distributes bags to current BPI Amore Visa cardholders.
Judging from the throngs of people that surround the Souk at any given time of day, the unassuming strip located between restaurants and fancy shops is paradise for the stylish, yet savvy consumer.
