Malbon teases entry to Philippines

MALBON, the lifestyle brand that fuses fashion with golf, will be opening their largest store worldwide right in the Philippines. It will be in the heart of BGC at the Shangri-La, facing 5th Avenue. Founded by Stephen and Erica Malbon, the brand was established in 2017 in Los Angeles and has quickly become a Hollywood favorite (Justin Bieber is a regular). They have biweekly collection drops and a diverse portfolio of collaborations ranging from Footjoy to Coca Cola to Jimmy Choo to Wu Tang Clan. Malbon has a Buckets Club, a community for golfers, athletes, artists, and creatives, offering members unique benefits like early access to product drops, invitations to special store events, and participation in golf events around the country. Malbon will be brought to the country by TKG Lifestyle, a local group behind the franchises for Gentle Monster and % Arabica, and the fitness facility Pretty Huge. The Malbon store is slated to open next year.
