You’re not a real Davaoeno if you haven’t yet heard of Chimes Specialty Boutique. It’s a chain of upscale stores based in Davao owned and managed by the Yap family. And just in time for the holidays, it officially opened its newly renovated flagship store along Governor Sales Street. Now here’s why you need to pay a visit (and book a flight if you must).

Yap family at the helm of retail stores in Davao and Mindanao, headed by Clark Yap, Bryan Yap, Camille Yap, Chase Yap, Lily Yap, Cassandra Yap, Patrick Yap, Philip Yap, Cindy Yap, and Paul Yap Jr.
For starters, this 37,000 square foot store was designed in collaboration with the retail design specialist, Moss Manila. It’s a glorious three-storey building that houses everything you’d possibly need—from ladies wear and menswear, to beauty, children and home—to ensure a delightful shopping adventure.

This shopping haven carries over a hundred well-known brands, many of which are exclusive to Chimes Boutiques (meaning you won’t be able to find some of these unique and high quality items anywhere else). And speaking of exclusivity, the store also carries the latest collections of our beloved local designers, including Charina Sarte, Patty Ang, Maureen Disini, Joyce Orena, and Jeffrey Rogrador.

“We would like to own the title of the shopping mecca of Mindanao,” says Cindy Yap, Chimes’ Executive Vice President. “This is a landmark moment not just for our [flagship] store, but for Chimes itself. We believe we are creating an unrivalled retail destination for customers which will redefine the luxury retail market in Davao.”
