Missed thrift shopping or the tiangge luxury life? The pandemic definitely kept us away from our love for thrift shopping… and of course, from splurging, but who knew they’d come back to us even closer with the rise of online stores.

Divisoria, Taytay, and Dapitan Arcade are just some of the hotspots we miss since the lockdown happened. They were heavily affected by the social distancing restrictions because these places can get crowded easily. It’s all because you can find fashion gems and good steals from these places for very cheap amounts therefore people really flock over to buy for their personal wardrobe and even to wholesale retails. 

Thankfully, the internet has provided a platform for its local inhabitants to continue their business in a more efficient way. Through Facebook, buyers can easily just browse their collections from their homes, pay through online banking, and have it delivered right at your doorstep.

Tutubuy

Tutuban is one of Divisoria’s original and most popular establishments. Through its website Tutubuy, you can shop from their famous stores that include Tramontina, Plaza de Amigos, and Michelle’s Ribbon and Lace Center. Here, you can see several merchandise such as fashion, kitchenware, home decors, party needs, and more. It’s as easy as just picking out items for your cart, pay through BPI online bank transfer, check out, and wait till it arrives at your address.

Taytay Tiangge

Taytay can be quite a travel but now, you can easily just pick out items from your computer or phones. Through its website Taytay Local, you can cop several fashion items that fall under Kids, Woman, Man, and New Normal Essentials. We all know that Taytay’s hype is real so some items are quick to sell out. So in case, you’re running out of options from the website, you can also check their Facebook page where they drop new items every now and then. 

Dapitan Arcade

Thinking of redecorating your home during a lockdown? Don’t worry about going out because Dapitan Arcade finally has a website where you can score ornaments, planters, and home decors easily. It’s perfect for the plantitos and plantitas who prefer staying home for the quarantine because they can easily just add to cart anything that they are piqued to buy. The website also features filters so you can set a budget for yourself so you don’t splurge as much.
