luol_deng Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 anyone know if there is BAPE in the philippines im guessing if they did its fake. if yes does anyone know where and how much they are thank you<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Im not from Phils but theres no BAPEs in the Phils, if there was then its fake. BAPEs are limited edition clothing and outside of Japan they only have some stores in NY, London & *I think* LA and some other places. I have a few BAPE shoes but i had to buy them online, at an expensive price! Trouble with BAPE & BBC is that Nigo (founder) wanted his clothing to be very limited and some of his shops in Japan are not listed in phone directories nor have shop signs for customers to find the label so its basically very very exclusive and thats what makes people want em'. Also some shops have a strict one item policy, so customers can only buy one item in that store for a month haha He basically said he doesnt want much people to wear his clothing, and hence the limited editions coz each shirt/shoes have numbers on em.

budhaman Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I think Nigo is to BAPE while Pharrell is to BCC.. not sure though.. Quote Link to comment

acidboy Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 may mga nakita na rin ako naka-bape shirts, bags, shoes.... na fake. usually mga tindera pa ang nakikita ko. hahaha! honestly, di ko talaga alam bakit mainit ito. bilib lang ako kay nigo kaya niya kilitiin ang mga tao. Quote Link to comment
cfran55 Posted March 25, 2006 Author Share Posted March 25, 2006 nakita mo nang BAPE? saan? Quote Link to comment
cfran55 Posted March 26, 2006 Author Share Posted March 26, 2006 how bout nike dunks do they have fake ones there also Quote Link to comment
luol_deng Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 thanks for the reply yes i know about bape and the exclusivness i was just wondering if there was fakes there since there are a lot of fakes on ebay and didnt pharrell make bbc???<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think Nigo is to BAPE while Pharrell is to BCC.. not sure though..<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nigo owns BAPE but BBC is co with Pharrell but BBC is still under Nigo...BBC is more exclusive now than BAPE thanks to Pharrells selling market hehe BUT yea it seems Phils doesnt have BAPE/BBC, maybe in future? I was in most of the major expensive malls of Phils in December but never found anything...there isnt much "fashion" stores in Phils mostly boutiques of labels like Kenneth Cole/Diesel/Replay etc but never a fashion store that would house Euro/Asian casual gear labels...

warpspeedo Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Never heard about Bape, what makes it special? Quote Link to comment
acidboy Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 san ko nakita fakes na bape? nasa isang coffee shop ako sa greenhills. may ale doon, dami dalang mga binebenta- siguro iiwan niya sa mga stalls sa loob, naka bape t-shirt. isang beses din isang babae, chinese medyo middle age na, naka bape na bag- yung parang canvas ang material. obvious naman sa quality ng print peke.

luol_deng Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 so how bout the fakes???<{POST_SNAPBACK}> bro would you wanna wear fakes? i mean sure some people wear fake Ralph Polo's etc but atleast they look near identical but we are talking about limited edition number shoes here...if you want good fakes i suggest searching through EBay or else look for your local flea market and im very sure they wouldnt be as good as a fake on EBay... Never heard about Bape, what makes it special?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Got popular due to the pop trend of "unknown" local cool designers...What made Nigo special was that he created few styles and each were limited numbers, thats what makes them cool i guess...

wari_aktiv Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 ...BUT yea it seems Phils doesnt have BAPE/BBC, maybe in future? I was in most of the major expensive malls of Phils in December but never found anything...there isnt much "fashion" stores in Phils mostly boutiques of labels like Kenneth Cole/Diesel/Replay etc but never a fashion store that would house Euro/Asian casual gear labels...<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually there is, to a certain extent. Its called homme et femme in Shangri-la. They don't carry Bape, or Billionaire Boys Club, but they do have A.P.C., Dior, Y-3, Fred Perry,Helmut Lang, and Marni; along with other very very interesting stuff. Whenever I'm in Shang I try to check out the stuff, and time my purchases with their end-of-season sales... As far as I know, you can find some fake Bathing Ape shirts around; I got 2, as gifts from friends. Also, I used to get one-of-a-kind tees from a store called tonic, near UAP. They carry a label that's called "Just Another Rich Kid"; that makes interesting shirts. Happy hunting. Quote Link to comment
cfran55 Posted April 4, 2006 Author Share Posted April 4, 2006 ^thanks for replyyea i heard of tonic in pasig that sells thehundredsim mostly looking for bape shoes and if i can find some bape/bbc hoodies but i cant wait to go next month i heard a store called american blvd in sm north edsa has some bapes dont know if they are authentic and price Quote Link to comment

Mild Seven Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 if your not really that particular of your bape items being brand new, you can try and go the the ukay ukay's in cubao or the one near edsa, yung sa may poea, once in a while they have bape items there. di kasi kilala masyado yung brand, di pinapansin ng mga bumibili dun....dapat lang yung have the patience to sort it out and check the merchandise for damages.
