Do you love Love, Bonito? I do and I’m thrilled to share that they have another batch of pop-ups in the Metro this May! In case you missed the Love, Bonito On Wheels last November, then this is your chance to check out your favorite Love, Bonito summer pieces in the flesh.

The Southeast Asian omnichannel womenswear brand is bringing its Summer Pop-up, the Love, Bonito Summerhouse to Manila from May 5 to 28, 2023. This follows the success of the brand’s first mobile pop-up experience in the Philippines, Love, Bonito on Wheels in 2022. Compared to last year’s pop-up store, customers can now choose from a wider selection of styles to try on and purchase on the spot at this new pop-up.

The Love, Bonito Summerhouse will feature the brand’s best-selling Staples collection, along with its latest Spring/Summer collections that showcase in-house prints, playful silhouettes, light fabrics, and gorgeous summer hues of green, orange, brown, and pink. The collection’s colors have been carefully selected by Love, Bonito’s in-house designers to complement the Asian skin tone!

“After an overwhelmingly positive response for our first pop-up experience in 2022, we knew that we had to be back! Our refreshed LB Summerhouse was built upon feedback from our last edition, where we ensured that our Filipino LBCommunity would now be able to browse, try-on and more importantly, bring home our well-loved pieces right away,” shares Love, Bonito Co-founder Rachel Lim. “The Philippines remains one of our key markets as we expand globally, and this pop-up store is a step closer to developing our omnichannel strategy in the country, with offline store expansions in mind.”
