(SPOT.ph) In early 2020, Australian skincare brand Aesop officially opened their first-ever store in the Philippines at Greenbelt 5. Well, almost two years later and it looks like they're following it up with a second outpost: Aesop is opening their second branch in Manila real soon at Power Plant Mall in Makati City!
Aesop Philippines Is Opening Their Second Branch in Metro Manila
Michael Concepcion, chief brand officer of Welcome Worldwide Retail—the group behind Aesop Philippines as well as other retail concepts like Commonwealth and Ronnie and Joe—posted a photo of the skincare shop’s boardup at Power Plant Mall on his Instagram page in late October. As of writing, not much has been revealed about the upcoming store, though Concepcion notes that it is "opening soon" and currently looking for retail consultants to work at the outpost.
Aesop is best known for their cult-favorite skincare, body care, hair care, and fragrance products. Their stores all over the world are also popular for their distinct aesthetic. The serene, minimalist interiors—which perfectly match their products' no-frills look—make for a luxurious and relaxing shopping experience. Not to mention, each individual store is designed to fit the culture and history of its respective location, making every Aesop shop around the globe unique and worth a visit.
For Aesop's first Philippine branch at Greenbelt 5, Welcome Worldwide worked with Mlkk Studio to create a space that, according to Concepcion, pays homage to the architectural history of Ayala Muesum, which was designed by Leandro Locsin in the 1960s. The store space's homogenous facade takes inspiration from Locsin’s use of floating forms.
Aesop's second branch is opening at Power Plant Mall, Makati City. You can also shop their products online.
