From Bale To Archive- Inside the Thrift Capital of the Philippines

Where do secondhand clothes go when nobody wants them anymore?
This video explores how secondhand clothing travels from overseas donation centers, through wholesalers and bales, before eventually reaching ukay-ukay shops in the Philippines-and how designer, vintage, and rare pieces find a second life along the way. taken in Baguio City by @lants.zip

8.8.26 is the day I officially became a husband to my best friend, my confidant, my partner, and the love of my life!

This day meant so much to us. And to be surrounded by the people we love while beginning this new chapter together is something that’ll be ingrained in our memories for the rest of our lives!

We want to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who came to celebrate with us. Whether you traveled from near or far, helped us along the way, or simply showed up to witness this moment you made our day even more special.

And to my now wife, I’m beyond grateful that I get to experience this life with you. From everything that brought us to this moment to everything that still lies ahead, I wouldn’t want anyone else by my side. If I could replay this day over again I would!

Here’s to a lifetime of growing together, laughing together, building a life together, and choosing each other through all the times! taken in Shadow Lakes Golf Club by @lants.zip

@baliktanaw_ walks us through a selection of standout pieces from the shop spanning from vintage military, archival references, and designer garments.

A study in construction, history, and personal taste, each piece reflects the kind of detail that makes curated fashion feel less like shopping and more like collecting! taken in Baguio City, Philippines by @lants.zip

Been working on something a little different this time. Here are some snippets!

I’ve always been fascinated by the pieces you can find thrifting in the Philippines. Designer, vintage, unusual silhouettes clothes that somehow traveled thousands of miles before ending up on an ukay rack.

So I wanted to find out how they actually get there

From bales to the people who have spent years digging through them, this project takes a closer look at the journey behind the clothes and the culture that gives them a second life.

From Bale to Archive is out now. 🇵🇭

Big thank you to my wife @khalaylaandres for helping me make this video even though I put it off so many times! 😂 taken in Baguio City by @lants.zip

Outfits throughout the PNW⛰️. Happy to say that the colder climates during the trip made me excited for layering season once again!
