Commonwealth

Founded in 2009 by Filipino-American retailer Omar Quiambao - the same operator behind Commonwealth Virginia - the Manila outpost gave Southeast Asia its first credible Stussy Chapter and built a Filipino chapter of the global streetwear network. The flagship inside Power Plant Mall in Rockwell is the largest of the chain's stores worldwide, opened in 2018; additional doors at Bonifacio High Street and SM Megamall cover the BGC and Ortigas catchments. The buy spans Stussy, A.P.C., Comme des Garcons Play, Carhartt WIP, New Balance and Salomon plus regular limited drops with Nike, Jordan and adidas, with Quiambao using Manila as a platform to platform local crews and Filipino-led collabs.
