emporium | ISSA

As much as I love online shopping, I admit I often have my reservations. Being petite, I’ve always had difficulties with sizes whether it comes to clothes and shoes which is why I haven’t been as adventurous with my online purchases as I would have wanted. Being a fashion blogger requires me to venture out and try different brands online and offline and truthfully, shopping is always a whole lot better when you can actually see and feel your purchases.

Emporium allows me to do just that- shop at online brands offline.

With various brands from both Manila and Cebu, Emporium caters to different brands of different styles and products allowing you to check out on hand items for you to add to your personal collection.

I personally find this option very helpful especially for my future online purchases because it gives me a better idea of sizes for days when I want to buy items online. A good example of my experience is when it comes to shoes. I hardly buy shoes from online stores because I am a size 5 and I’ve always had a hard time finding online stores that offered footwear that actually fit. Because of Emporium, I was able to try on Tiny Ensembles products and was relieved to discover that their products cater to my size and I happily went home with my very own pair of lace up flats- FINALLY!

Other than that, I was also very happy to find other Manila brands there such as Miss Bella Ph; Shnukum Manila; The Grid Ph; Verano; Tutum and my favorite, Let’s Stlyize!
