When in Manila, shopping has always been both a fun and tiring activity. The feeling of purchasing the clothes you want has no equal amount of satisfaction for shopaholics. Then again, there are times when you just prefer sitting in front of a computer and shop online.
There are tons of local online brands that suite our personal style but we have to admit that most of the items we want are NOT YET AVAILABLE HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES. When this happens, I turn to Keestine Outlets.
Keestine Outlets is owned by Kim Avena who started her business by catering small favors of buying and shipping items for her friends in Manila. She was a former boutique owner in Greenhills but has ventured to online services now that she is in the States. She maintains close communication with the best personal stylists in New York City and discussed elements of style and styling with Stacy London, her source of inspiration, to further develop her craft.

3. Give a cheaper alternative of your favorite celebrity’s outfit.
This is what I love about Keestine Outlets the most. It can give me the cheaper alternatives of the items that my favorite celebrities/ style icons wear. For example, I have Emma Watson, Emma Stone and Kate Middleton as my favorite style icons. When I told the owner of Keestine Outlets about this, she presented me with photos of the items that the celebrities used plus its cheap alternatives.
Emma Watson
Emma Stone’s look = Php 76,000 BUT Keestine Outlets has similar pieces for as low as P1,500 each!
Kate Middleton
Another forte of Keestine Outlets is handpicking the right kind of shoes for you. If you have a certain shoe in mind but you don’t have any idea where to purchase it, Keestine Outlets will research it for you. Very specific requests are welcome.
For example: you want Black, suede, knee-high boots that has zippers on the back and has wedge soles ideal for long hours of walking.
Keestine Outlets will will give you exactly what you want, maybe even a few more choices to give you more options.
Keestine Outlets offer US brands and designer brands, including those not usually patronized in Manila, at very affordable prices (in PESO). If you’re looking for items that are only available in the U.S. you can ask Keestine Outlets to ship it for you. She can even give you a roster of items similar to your request but are waaaay cheaper than the prices of other brands. How amazing is that? If you want a faster transaction, (since shipping from U.S. to Manila takes almost a month) you can visit their showrooms in Alabang and Marikina and choose from their items there.
All in all Keestine Outlets is an online shopping service for Manila buyers who wish to avail of items from the U.S. If you want to experience personalized shopping service from USA by a fellow Pinay, like their page and PM Keestine Outlets now!
