Malbon, the trailblazing lifestyle brand that fuses fashion with the essence of golf, will be opening their largest store worldwide right here 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, the brand was established in 2017 in Los Angeles and 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 that’s applied in a creative way which pays homage to the robust heritage of golf. 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 which is a community for golfers, athletes, artists, and creatives alike. It offers members unique benefits like early access to product drops, invites to special store events, and participation in golf events around the country which are structured for complete 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 Pretty Huge, so we’re pretty sure this Malbon flagship is also going to be a unique experience itself. Very excited to learn more in the coming months, stay tuned and start stretching your hips now!
