MAKATI CITY — A new retail destination has arrived at One Rockwell in Makati, giving shoppers the opportunity to discover independent fashion and design labels from across Asia. Qurio, a multi-brand concept space located on the ground floor, brings together clothing, footwear, and accessories from 20 independent brands based in Bali, Bangkok, Jaipur, Jakarta, Manila, Seoul, and Tokyo. The store also features exclusive creations from Filipino designers developed specifically for the concept.
A Curated Approach to Fashion
Rather than following the usual mass-market retail model, Qurio focuses on pieces that offer something distinctive and worth discovering. The concept was shaped by co-founder Shar Cabigas, who also operates Suki Jewelry, through years of traveling, visiting design studios, and personally connecting with independent creators. Her approach centers on discovering pieces with lasting value instead of simply choosing products based on their potential to sell. This philosophy is reflected in Qurio’s selection, which includes brands that collaborate with artisan communities, create in limited quantities, use more responsible production practices, or focus on producing quality pieces designed to last beyond seasonal trends.
A Collection That Keeps Changing
Qurio’s current lineup features a diverse mix of Asian labels. From Bali, shoppers can find Balm Wears, Isa Boulder, and Sanje Wear, while Bangkok is represented by Archibald’s Shoes, Bob’s Your Uncle, Muunsan, Oabo, Pipatchara, and SEIRE Collective. The selection also includes HARAGO from Jaipur; ANW and SAJA from Jakarta; Gloriae, Maligaya Clothing Co., Tagpi, Viña Romero, and Ziv Rei Alexi from Manila; Marge Sherwood and Seen-Nees from Seoul; and Hosu.Atpd from Tokyo. The store's lineup is not fixed. Qurio plans to regularly introduce new labels as its team continues traveling and searching for emerging designers and independent brands. This rotating approach means shoppers may encounter an entirely different selection on their next visit.
A New Shopping Experience in Makati
Now open to the public, Qurio offers a fresh retail experience at the Ground Floor of One Rockwell, Makati City. With its carefully selected mix of independent Asian labels and constantly evolving collection, the concept space provides shoppers with an opportunity to discover designs beyond mainstream fashion.
