Malbon, the trailblazing lifestyle brand that fuses fashion with the essence of golf, will be opening their largest store worldwide right here in the Philippines! Judging by the border-up that was just installed, it will be over a half city-block long in the heart of BGC at the Shangri-La, facing 5th Avenue.
Stephen and Erica Malbon founded the brand in2017 in Los Angeles, and it quickly became a standout in the fashion world. Their mission is to revitalize golf culture by making it more accessible and appealing to a wider, younger audience. Malbon also apply a creative streetwear approach that pays homage to the robust heritage of golf. Furthermore, they have biweekly collection drops and a diverse portfolio of collaborations ranging from Footjoy to Coca Cola to Jimmy Choo to Wu Tang Clan. O’, and Erica is Filipina so we’re hoping for some Philippines inspired designs in the future!
It’s not just about the apparel!
It’s not just about the apparel — Malbon has a Buckets Club which is a community for golfers, athletes, artists, and creatives alike. Members also enjoy unique benefits, including early access to product drops, invites to special store events, and opportunities to participate in golf events nationwide designed for complete beginners, seasoned golfers, and everyone in between.
Curious about the Cloud included on the border-up, we discovered it’s the logo for TKG Lifestyle, a local group dedicated to redefining retail in the Philippines, according to their website. They’re also behind Gentle Monster and % Arabica just next door and the fitness facility Pretty Huge, so we’re pretty sure this Malbon flagship is also going to be a unique experience itself. Very excited to learn more in the coming months, stay tuned and start stretching your hips now!
