Support Divisoria enterprises through TutuBuy
THE HISTORIC Tutuban Center celebrates the first year of its digital flagship store known as “TutuBuy.” Designed as the first wholesale shopping site in Divisoria, TutuBuy keeps the bargain shopping spirit alive with wholesalers that offer the best products at affordable prices online. As TutuBuy celebrates its first anniversary, big discounts await shoppers until Sept. 30, TutuBuy will offer a site-wide discounted shopper’s fee of P150 from the regular rate of P250 for all customers regardless of their basket size by using the voucher code “TutubuyAnniv” upon check out. The code is applicable for one-time use within the promo period. TutuBuy lists a growing array of various goods on the site — from homeware and kitchenware, hygiene and sanitation items, packaging materials, textiles, tailoring accessories, office and school supplies, arts and crafts, party needs, toys and events supplies, and even tiles and home furnishings. Shoppers can get their wholesale bargain needs from Tutuban merchants Anding’s Toys & Flowers, Michelle’s Ribbon and Lace Center, Plaza de Amigos, Tramontina, Boston Textile Trading, Centro Texstyle, Perfect Resource Trading and Esta Galleria, Megajaz Packaging Supplies, Shirt Station Enterprises, Gravitee Sales, Sun City Multi Sales and Wellmanson Sewing Notion. In addition to the e-commerce site, TutuBuy expanded its services to offer Pabili (purchase), a hybrid shopping experience wherein the customer will be connected with a personal shopper to assist and physically purchase the client’s requested items that may or may not be listed on the TutuBuy website. The Pabili feature allows buyers to find goods in Tutuban Center and other shops within Divisoria. Deliveries are made through TutuBuy’s partner couriers. The shipping rate is computed based on the order’s overall dimensions and weight on top of the buyer’s delivery address. For patrons who prefer to physically visit Tutuban Center, pick-ups are allowed and can be arranged by the mall staff. Payment can be done via online bank transfer (BPI and BDO), GCash, and cash on delivery (COD). Visit TutuBuy at www.tutubancenter.com.

Tod’s releases No_Code J Project sneaker
TOD’S has released the new No_Code J Project urban sneaker inspired by outdoor performance. Maintaining all the features that make the No_Code projects (a synthesis of advanced technology and high production quality) unique, the No_Code J is now equipped with performance suitable for rough terrains. The Korean designer Yong Bae Seok took many points of inspiration for the “J” project from his trip to Silicon Valley in 2020 to produce the book, Silicon Valley, No_Code Life. In Yong’s words, “The new No_Code J (where ‘J’ stands for journey) answers the needs of people who are looking for adventure, contact with nature and the outdoors, even in a more urban context; thus making ‘J’ ‘all terrain’ where, in the words of the architect Louis H. Sullivan, ‘Form follows function’.” In the Philippines, Tod’s is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc., and is located at Greenbelt 4, Rustan’s Shangri-La, and Shangri-La Plaza and online at Trunc.ph, Rustans.com, Zalora, and Lazada.
