Since last year, I have been anticipating the Converse Warehouse Sale. I can't really splurge on shoes and one in a while it's nice to get a fresh pair.
Yesterday, I finally took a trip to the Converse Warehouse sale with my co-dancers of M.S. Crew to buy our uniform pair of chucks.
Like I expected, I got my pair at a amazing deal, of only Php800. Last year, I was able to purchase a pair of Jack Purcell's for 450php.
What you can expect to purchase are a wide array of shoes, t-shirts, hats, slippers and shorts all under the Converse brand including their sister brands e.g. Jack Purcell.
So if you are wanting to visit and buy, here are some shopping tips:
1. Be early. Stocks are replenished everyday but at the start of the day. So the earlier you get there, the more choices you will have.
2. Go there with an open mind. Don't go there expecting to find the latestreleases in the retail stores. These are stocks that they are wanting to get rid off. Sometimes, you'll be lucky to find a spick and span pair at a lower price. The cleaner the pair is, the higher the price.
3. Wear slipper or sandals. Or footwear that will allow you to fit shoes quickly. Seats are limited and since it's a warehouse don't expect couches. Choose something casual and comfortable to wear, sometimes it can get a little stuffy inside.
4. Bring a face mask. If you are allergic to dust you will need it. It's an open warehouse with not much ventilation.
5. Bring a shopping bag. Your purchase(s) will only be placed in shoe boxes and tied. So if you plan to purchase several pairs, you'll need a bag.
How to get there:
1. Commute: From Cubao take an FX (FX boarding is located at Gateway Mall - Aurora Boulevard side) to Parang Marikina and just tell the driver to drop you off at the Converse Warehouse. They totally know it!
2. Car: Sorry I don't know since I don't drive however if you do bring a car, parking is very limited and it is only along the highway.
Warehouse Address: 65 General Molina St. Parang, Marikina.
Great thing that the Converse Warehouse now accepts credit cards and ATM cards!
You still have until December 21 to get those chucks!
Waaah ang mura :) Kaso too far from our location. Sino kaya punta para makapagpabili
ReplyDeleteAwwww you might have a friend who lives nearby. :)
Deleteyay just what I need! thanks for this :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome dear! Hope you get to go there! :)
DeleteI want to go but it's too far from where I am plus having a 6 month old baby makes it all the more difficult to leave the house.
ReplyDeleteHi! Don't worry there is always next year, since they hold this 2 a year and they sometimes have sale in Megamall. :)
DeleteThis is what i call buying wisely. Lovely pair you got there.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joy! :)
DeleteWow! super steal for P800. Yun lang malayo sa min, talo sa gas at tolgate. hehehe!
ReplyDeleteHaha uu nga naman. :)
DeleteThat's really low price. I didn't know that they do have warehouse sale for Converse pala. I buy cheaper Converse products at Olympic Outlet. I thought mura na yun. Pala, mas mura pa sa warehouse. Cooool!
ReplyDeleteSuper Jing! They have great prices na matutuwa ka you'll save a few thousand pesos.
DeleteConverse has been my fave footwear when I was in college. It's comfy plus it goes with anything. Too bad Marikina is too far from me. But if they have better parking spaces, I'm willing to go here. Lol :))
ReplyDeleteSometimes they have a warehouse sale in Megamall but I'm not so sure of the schedule when.
Deleteoh my!! i should go here! :) thanks Marie for sharing.. love Chucks too! :)
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome dear, this is my second year to go and I am so happy.
Deletebakit ang laayo haha...but then everything farther than a 10km-radius is malayo na for me, he he. congrats on scoring a nice pair!
ReplyDeleteHahahaha thanks much!
DeleteI love the white you chose. My only pair of chucks is a pink one from high school! haha but, it's proof that Converse is a really trusted and durable brand ;)
ReplyDeleteAy Marie for us fashion Mommies, a pair of chucks is a must!
DeleteWow, what a great deal, and Converse! They won't look good on me though, I think haha, but they will surely look good on those legs of yours :-)
ReplyDeleteHahahaha they slippers too and chucks for kids. :)
DeleteWow- that's a steal! I'm not a Converse user, but I also look out for warehouse sales of brands I love. What we have here are mostly clothing lines, though, so I keep an eye on those all the time.
ReplyDeleteNaku sa Marikina super damin ng warehouse sales pati sa may Eastwood City. :)
Deletewe're planning to visit the warehouse sale within the week. i hope it will push thru. i want some sneakers! :) -edel
ReplyDeleteWere you able to get a pair Rei? :)
DeleteNakooo I want!!! ^^
ReplyDeleteMeron na ulit, this March!
DeleteAaaah! There's still time to catch the sale till tomorrow! But with the crazy Metro Manila traffic on the last weekend before Christmas, I don't think my hubby would want to bring me there! :0
ReplyDeleteThey have another warehouse sale this March! :)
DeleteUntil when will be the sale sissy? We have here a Converse factory in FTI Taguig too, but my sister whom I asked to inform me if there will be a sale failed to advise me f the sale. Tapos na. :(
ReplyDeleteHi Sis, until December 21 which was today. :(
DeleteHi! Just wanna ask if organized ba ang pila at pagpasok sa warehouse? Hindi ba nagkaka-stampede? I'm worried kasi baka magtulakan. :3
ReplyDeleteWe actually didn't go on the opening day itself and we went on a weekend. It's better to go a few days after the opening para di na masyado marami ang tao. And this is my second time to go - so far, I have not encountered shoving or a stampede. :)
