Malbon, the trailblazing lifestyle brand fusing fashion with the essence of golf, will be opening their largest store worldwide 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.
Founded by the dynamic duo Stephen and Erica Malbon in 2017 in Los Angeles, the brand has quickly become a standout in the world of fashion. Their mission is to revitalize golf culture by making it more accessible and appealing to a wider, younger audience.
They achieve this with a streetwear approach applied creatively to pay homage to golf’s robust heritage. 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—Malbon has a Buckets Club, a community for golfers, athletes, artists, and creatives. It offers members unique benefits like early access to product drops, invites to special store events, and participation in nationwide golf events, which are structured for beginners, seasoned golfers, and everyone in between to join.
We were curious about the Cloud also included on the border-up. It turns out it’s the logo for TKG Lifestyle, a local group ‘dedicated to redefining how retail is done in the Philippines’ based on their website. They’re also behind Gentle Monster and % Arabica just next door, and the fitness facility is Pretty Huge, so we’re pretty sure this Malbon flagship will also be a unique experience. Very excited to learn more in the coming months, stay tuned and start stretching your hips now!
Stay tuned for their social media handles launching on Facebook: Malbon PH, Instagram, and TikTok: @malbon.ph. Follow us for future updates!
