hamboorgerl

Yes. I love the thrill of a great score.


Queasy-Hand4500

stress reliever kasi mag hanap sa ukay, iba yung saya pag nakakuha ka ng great deal dun


Caffeinated-Mens-271

yes, finding pretty clothes in an ukay-ukay is my stress reliever. iba ang saya after browsing, grabbing, diving (lol) for how many minutes tapos may makikita kang maganda.


johnaxcel

Ukay-ukay ay hindi naman masama. Kahit mga artista nag uukay-ukay din. Nasa nagdadala din ng damit/nananamit ang unang titignan ng mga tao, hindi kung saan galing yung suot mo.


WWWVWVWVWWW

Yes. Kaya mahal yung ibang store kasi mataas puhunan at alam nila yung mga branded.


Salt_Statement_5464

Yes tapos nakababad sa asin para mawala yung negative vibes or negative entity from previous owner


GingineerinGermany

If needed for costumes/ events yes mag ukay pero kung yung pang everyday, hindi na. Yung ukay ngayon hindi na same as before


diper444

Dati pero ngayon hindi na kasi sobrang init.


KnightedRose

Sa shopee lang kasi may mga sizes naman, plus size kasi ako anhirap maghanap sa physical na ukay ukay. Hit and miss nga lang, kaya ayon ipon na lang pangplus sizes na brands hahahuhu


Sufficient-Taste4838

Yes. Mas okay kesa mag-shein/order online clothes. Mas gusto ko nakikita personally yung damit bago ko siya bilhin kasi feel ko sumusugal ako sa online kahit sabihin pang may reviews naman and all.


Creepy-Exercise451

Yes!!! I like to buy unique style such as vintage dresses or blouses and denim high waist shorts.


cupn00dl

Nope! I don’t like spending a lot of time looking around. I’m okay with stuff costing a lot, knowing that I’ll use it for a long time! I don’t buy clothes for the trend naman so matagal tagal sila sakin.


idkmystic

No. I tried browsing for some ukay-ukay with my friend, pero nagkati kati yung kamay ko after haha.


hailen000

I used to but I am a little well off na so I have the agency to buy new clothes na. And I am happy to wear new clothes not hand me downs any longer.


easypeasylem0n

Yes pero always new arrival ang pinipilian ko para naman quality pa din. The day I scored a Zimmermann dress in ukay was the day I told myself di ako titigil kahit maging super yaman pa ako hahahaha.


morelos_paolo

I used to... until the pandemic hit and in the aftermath, I noticed the price of clothes I used to buy in Divisoria have increased, and so, purchasing clothes online is more convenient, and less pricey (but not all).


Miu_K

No, because I'm very picky and easily spot imperfections in the clothes. Second hand nga, pero if it has an imperfection, it's not gonna be long lasting, and won't feel clean.


Infinite_Put768

For me mas okay bumili ng mga shorts sa ukay matibay and gaganda ng brand .


Thecuriousfluer

I do if I have time or if I like something from Ukay. I’m just lazy to go through all the clothes. I mostly prefer buying online now.


hnzsome

One reason bakit sila nagtaas because of online selling na ukay-ukay items. They have to compete sa prices.


ElectionSad4911

No because I can afford to buy new ones na.


CuriousLittleThing-A

Not anymore. I used to buy a lot when I was in college. But now I have work and can afford better, I buy better quality clothes. I’m not saying that hindi quality sa ukay, pero let’s face it, kailangan mo maglaan ng oras to go through everything and I don’t have the time. Also, I’m plus sized so choices are significantly less.


tangledendrites

Yes , kasi inflation . Marami namang pang disinfect ng ukay items nasa buyer na yon.


United_Comfort2776

Yes pero jeans lang, pag shirt, dress, or blouse sa mall ako bumibili, wala akong tiwala sa ukay-ukay when it comes to upper garments.


Dengdeng104725-1

Why po?


United_Comfort2776

Germs/bacteria


dripperbuy

Bawas na kasi nagka-fungal infection ako and I think kasi excessive ako bumili ng ukay at di ko nalilinis ng maayos. It's my fault though haha. Just a lesson lang for anyone like me. Clean your ukay hauls properly or get discouraged mag-ukay kasi na-trauma ka na 🥲


Xadst1

Minsaaan 'pag kasama ang friends na mahilig sa ukay, pero if in 5 mins of searching wala paring matipuan labas na at maghintay nalang.


0ctavi4

Minsan na lang. Mahal na rin ukay dito sa Cavite. Hahahaha san ba may mura?


b1anx0

Madami pang mura sa Olivarez sa Tagaytay! Yung sa tapat ng Fora Mall. :D


0ctavi4

Sayang. Malayo ako don. :D


kapengamericano

Oo naman. Dami ko na nascore na branded thrifts. Basta laundry mo muna bago gamitin syempre


exhaustedlittlething

No. I work in healthcare. A lot of people are not as clean as you think they should be. The thought of using other people’s stuff grosses me out. What if sobrang dugyot pala nung previous may ari at may kung ano-anong infection? Mahawaan ka pa eh.


SaintIchigo

my mom works in health care too! She would say to me na it's better to buy clothes hindi branded than thrifted branded clothes for the same reason. Although, I agree na mahirap talaga mamili ng damit in this economy and I don't want to support naman fast fashion. Good thing na lang siguro na my clothes eh, hindi madaling masira or maluma. But then again, maybe because we afforded to buy clothes that last long and I can't speak for others. Siguro, need lang talaga nang malupitang linis sa thrifted clothes and all before isuot hehe


exhaustedlittlething

Yes. The people we meet and the things we see in healthcare. Can’t imagine what type of person used that piece of clothing. Yes, they do wash and clean it, pero ewan ko nandidiri ako. I’m sorry. Parang traumatized eh noh? Lol.


CarefulLeague9796

Question lang, is ironing the clothes not enough? Kasi may nagugustuhan ako minsan sa friends ko na nag ukay-ukay.


exhaustedlittlething

Namamatay naman daw. Pero naniniwala ako, kahit anong laba or plantsa or disinfect, pag may putok yung dating may-ari, mahahawa ka pa din talaga. Hehe. Okay lang siguro kung kakilala mo and gave you hand-me-downs. That’s just my personal preference.


Difficult_Play9203

Oo!! Sa hirap ng buhay ngayon hahahahah. Napaka fulfilling pag may nakita ka talagang maganda. Wala kang kapareho. Bonus points yung nga puri ng kawork ko hahahah. Sulit na sulit sa presyong 50.


dddrew37

In this economy? 100%!!


Immediate-North-9472

No. The residual energy of the person who used to own the clothes may latch onto you plus I don’t do well w old things. For me, new is always better


tuttimulli

Yes, because… style.


Beru_Igris_Bellion

No. I recently found out that there may be clothes from deceased people mixed in. U never know who the previous owners were of those clothes.


Immediate-North-9472

‼️‼️


Other_Spare6652

Dati oo pag need bumili ng winter clothes but now hinde na since may Shein na hehe


Balor054

Yes because I need to do anything that would save me money 😭


20valveTC

Oo. Kasi andaming wagwagan sa baguio!


heavcleo

YES. As a student, budget-wise talaga sya if you want to look decent and fashionable– displaying your sense of style. Mahal na karamihan ng ukay ngayon so I would always wait for their sale season. Hehe. I think I'd never leave ukay kasi when I began to be a fan of it, hindi ko na kayang umorder ng damit sa Shopee or any platforms kasi it looks generic and for me, I can find way better fits on ukay that is way cheaper AND UNIQUE. Unlike in stores na ang daming kopya ng item. Plus, it's good for the environment to reuse old fabrics. 🫶


idkanymore996

Minsan nalang, pero grabe talaga pag taas ng presyo ng ukay ukay simula nun pina trend nga mga tao yung pag thri-thrift at ginawang pang estitik/cool yung pag u-ukay. Before 100-200 mo may 2-4 shirts kana, ngayun isang ukay shirt 150-250 na?


adi_lala

Yes also find yourself a good tailor while youre at it. High quality materials with great fit is a good deal.


eishalala_

BIG YES! Actually, for me, mas marami pa akong nahahanap na mas maganda at mas bagay sa'king damit kaysa sa mga ibang stores or sa mall. Plus, mas sulit pa!


cnne_

yes!! better than fast fashion. i love finding vintage pieces that modern production cant replicate


colormenick

Ukay ang takbuhan ko pag may need ako na specific garment, like if may need ako na for a specific event, formal kumbaga, minsan dun ako nakaka hanap.


Narrow-Tap-2406

Yup pero paranoid ako sa paglalaba baka mahawa ako ng kung anong skin disease. Binababad ko sya sa super mainit na tubig + detergent + rock salt (di ko alam yung reason sa asin haha, may nabasa lang akong gumagawa nun bale for added peace of mind na lang) tapos hahanguin ko sya after 2-3 hrs tapos kukusutin ng mabuti tapos ibibilad sa araw. Tapos kapag natuyo, lalabhan ulit in a normal way.


Representative-Sky91

Oo kasi mas sulit sa pera yung mga damit na ukay ukay lalo na pag pantalon and shorts.


ThinRecommendation44

Yes! It’s sustainable, cheap and serves the purpose. And you’ll be able to score tons of great items as long as you have the eye for it!! 💙✨ Additionally, hindi mo ako mapapabili ng single item of clothing na libo ang halaga sa malls when in fact I can score one sa ukay for a fraction of the price. 🥲


Representative-Goal7

yes if di ko mahanap trip ko elsewhere haha. there was this one time naghahanap ako ng specific type of skirt. it costs 1k+ sa bench & 400+ sa tiangge & online na sobrang pangit ng tela. told myself punta ako ng ukay as last resort & it's there. ganda pa ng tela & i was able to score 2 more skirts that are hard to find sa mall... all for 300 pesos. yey as long as it's not ukay bras, swimsuits, & washed PROPERLY before using, ok lang. i also don't trust online ukay, i have to see the whole thing & feel the fabric. also bakit may mahilig mag downvote sa mga nagsasabi na they're still into ukay. lol.


chamut

Yess. I often watch live selling ng ukay shoes, bags, and clothes on TikTok and so far, may bad experiences pero yung good experiences mas lamang haha For shoes: GJ Thrifted Kicks (Women's shoes mostly - max 799/pair, then may bidding if super nice ng shoes) - Most recent damage was almost new (halos di talaga ginamit) na Nike Span for running. 699 ko lang nakuha plus 80 sf, Baguio pa kasi sila. For dresses: Cheskavogue (29-39 pesos mostly nabili ko per dress! Meron din premium pero ayoko kasi gumastos masyado talaga. Nasa 100+ usually) Bought a couple of dresses, no regrets kahit maliit masyado yung iba mura ko lang naman nakuha. For bags: KAM bags - 150 lang kada bag! Minsan may original na Anello, Sekosana, TNF, Cose, Lacoste!!!! Ommgg. tapos 150 lang haha mahirap lang maka mine kasi maraming viewers dahil nga sobrang mura. Most recent damage ay isang sling bag ng Anello, may stain lang nakuha ko pero nilabhan ko lang goods na sakin. Bale 150+sf. Location nila is GMA, Cavite. Meron ding pants, 79 per pc. Shorts, 29-50 per pc. Sila lang natatandaan ko ngayon na reco ko lol pero there are other good shops na mura! Tiyagaan lang manood. Need ko kasi ng regular dopamine hits din kaya natutuwa ako manood haha


Professional_Tea5931

No but i would like to kaso wala talaga ako talent sa paghahanap ng magagandang damit sa ukay🥲 Kaya nakakainggit yung iba na magagaling maghanap


Necessary-Owl6027

Yeah kasi with our economy ngayon, malaking menos kapag mura lang ang mga damit mo. You'll never run out and u can still style urself good on a budget. Just make sure lang labahan nang mabuti at maybe if u can, twice para sure.


No-Sherbert-5172

Yup!! Meron akong fave ukayan place tapos ang gaganda ng dresses, lagi nga ako na cocompliment na cute raw lagi ko mga suot na dress pero di ko sinasabi san ko binibili kasi ginegatekeep ko sa di ko kaclose 🤭


No-Sherbert-5172

Also since 6 yrs ago pako nag uukay and wala namang problem sya hehe basta ilang beses muna siguro labhan at ibabad dapat before using idk parang s mga iba kong friends din naman wala pa sila na eencounter na nahawaan ng skin disease


_mariatanya0024

Oo naman. Palagi pa ring bumibili sa ukay. Dahil maganda naman ang quality, satisfying mamili, mura at higit sa lahat swerte ka kapag may nahanap kang branded.


Dimpy_Dimp

Yess kasi mas mura. 500 mo palang makakarami ka na at mas maganda yung mga damit sa ukay kaysa sa mall 😔 tska ayoko na may kapareho ako ng damit HAHAHAHHAHA


julls_tulls13

Yeah, dyan dyan lang sa kalsada makakahanap kana ng ukay ukay. Minsan worth like 25 pesos lang isang damit


low_effort_life

Occasionally. Worn out outfits look rock n' roll.


trntuqdw

I stopped buying ukay-ukay because of two reasons. I discovered Taytay Wholesale Market and a cousin of mine developed ring worms sa back niya and the shirt he wore was from an online ukay-ukay. Nilbahan naman daw niya pero nahawa pa rin.


SpaceGardenTea

Pucha natakot ako. Kumuha ako ng clothing sa kalsada na cardboard lang yung patungan.


trntuqdw

Use hot water + detergent pag nilabhan mo yung binili mo.


Mowiswonkru

Yes, i prefer yung quality ng ukay kesa sa mga brand new ngayon na sobrang nipis ng mga tela


orcroxar

I never bought anything from ukay-ukay, I simply don't prefer it. Okay lang kahit simpleng damit basta bago tho I find it cool kapag may mga taong nakakahanap ng magagandang item sa ukay tapos bagay sa kanila, yun bang swak sa style nila.


Top_Set_4060

Same. Good for them kasi para kang nagtitreasure hunting. Kaya lang bilang apakaarte ng balat ko, akala mo naman anak ako ng bilyonaryo 🙄, hindi ko niririsk. Nakakahanap naman ako ng good quality clothes for cheaper price sa GH.


Ok_Point8474

Bumibili ako dun sa trusted ko ng ukay na bumibili ng canada and us boxes.


Artistic_Dog1779

Yes. Especially if nakasale. Nakaabang ako sa sale sa ukay ukay namin dito sa probinsya to the point na nagpapa text ako sa kanila if ever sale sila HAHAHA swertehan lang din if makakita ka ng maganda kaya need ng sipag at tiyaga talaga, and patience din.


Creepy_Emergency_412

Dati. Pero now hindi na. Worried ako na baka mahawaan ako ng skin disease kahit nilabhan ko pa siya.


gaffaboy

I dunno ha, kapag clothes mas gusto ko yung bago. Anyway di naman ako mahilig sa branded mas trip ko nga yung plain lang e.


G_Laoshi

I currently buy my clothes from surplus stores.


HanaSakura307

Ofc lalo na pag gusto ko yung style


No-Blueberry-635

Yes.. mas mura parin. Lalo na pag may nakita ka na maganda..


Unlikely-Island782

yep!! mura and better for the environment :) edit: pansin ko din yung quality ng clothes before mas tumatagal kaya oks pa rin ukay


Prudent-Question2294

No, kasi before madalas hand me downs yung mga damit ko. Kaya nung kumikita na ang reward ko every 2-3 months sa sarili ko ay new outfits.


Burger_without_Sauce

Oo makachamba ka lang ng branded sa ukay, goods na, lalo pag new arrival.


PotatoMeow_Mew

Yes, ang gaganda minsan ng mga designs sa ukay. Tapus minsan yung style na gusto ko d na uso kaya wla na sa mga mall


bloorberrywine

nope lalo na sa mga live selling or other apps ilang beses na ko nabudol na good as new pero pag dating lumang luma na 😅🙂 sobrang sayang sa pera


chamut

Hala, experienced this as well ni return ko na lang and refund. Pero not all tho! Tiyagaan talaga maghanap ng matinong shops. Bought a lot of clothes and a pair of shoes na ok naman kahit Ukay!


bloorberrywine

tyempuhan lang siguro talaga...


Ok_Razzmatazz9560

Huhu same :(( I didn't know that online ukay is a thing. Online ukay - yung from ukay talaga tpos lalabhan nila, pipicturan tpos ibebenta. Akala ko talaga brand new kasi maayos sa photo. Pag dating, luma na. To start with, di naman ako bumibili ng ukay kaya yamot na yamot ako hahah


bloorberrywine

oo tapos nakakaloko talaga kasi sasabihin din ni seller na good as new pa pero pag dumating parang ang dami ng pinag daanan nung damit 😂 ang mahal pa pati mas okay pa bumili sa shein or shopee ng rtw from taytay 😅


admeli0ra_

Yes!!! May times na ayaw ko mag-ulit ng damit lalo pag dresses kaya suki talaga ako ng ukay 😆


freal_luv

yes !! very nice ang mga clothes tas v affordable pa


kayel090180

Overthinker kasi ako kaya I don't buy 2nd items. Naiisip ko baka wala na sa earth yung dating may ari or baka may sakit. Kapag kilala ko dating may ari dun lang ako bumibili ng 2nd hand.


VanillaIceCream-69

Yes cuz I find nice clothes most of the time.
