A Guide to Sandara Park’s Quick Shopping Itinerary Around Makati

Our Pambansang Krungkrung is back in town!

On March 31, Sandara Park shared snaps from her first day in Manila. Dressed in a black tank top and light-wash jeans, and with a lilac Balenciaga City bag strapped across her body, the K-Pop star went straight for some of Makati's hottest retail destinations.

And in case you’re planning a quick shopping day yourself, Dara’s itinerary makes a solid blueprint—efficient, varied, and easy to follow. Here’s everywhere she stopped by:

• Republic Glass Building, Aguirre, Legazpi Village, Makati City

• Monday-Sunday, 12 noon to 8 p.m.

First stop: Archives d’Homme et Femme in Legazpi Village. If you’re into designer pieces at lower prices, this spot is well worth a visit. The store specializes in curated archival finds and past-season collections from high-end labels, all marked down. Discounts anywhere between 20% to 70%, with racks featuring brands like Comme des Garçons, Maison Margiela, Acne Studios, Jil Sander, and Dries Van Noten—only to name a few.

• Greenbelt Park Walkways, Makati City

• Sundays to Thursdays (11 a.m. - 9 p.m.), Fridays and Saturdays (11 a.m. - 10 p.m.)

Just a few blocks away is Greenbelt 3. The mall is a haven for luxury heritage brands, housing the boutiques of Louis Vuitton, Dior, Bvlgari, and more.

For a quick bite, Dara and her friends made their way to Wildflour, located right outside the Fendi—a convenient pit stop before heading back into the stores.

• Rockwell Drive, Makati City

• Mondays to Thursdays (11 a.m. to 9 p.m.), Fridays (11 a.m. to 10 p.m.), Saturdays and Sundays (10 a.m. to 10 p.m.)

Last on the itinerary is Power Plant Mall in Rockwell, a fixture on Dara’s Manila checklist. Her routine here is pretty consistent: grab a cup of coffee from Harlan + Holden, pick up some cheese rolls from Mary Grace, and a quick beeline to The Marketplace grocery for her usual fix of San Miguel Light beer.
