Malbon Set to Tee Off in the Philippines: Golf Meets Fashion in BGC's Biggest Flagship Store
Malbon, the innovative lifestyle brand that merges fashion with the spirit of golf, is about to make its grand entrance into the Philippines with the opening of its largest store worldwide. The new flagship location, set to span over half a city block in the heart of Bonifacio Global City (BGC) at Shangri-La, will face 5th Avenue and promises to be a game-changer in the local retail scene.
Founded in 2017 by Stephen and Erica Malbon in Los Angeles, the brand has quickly made waves with its mission to bring golf culture to a broader, younger audience. By blending streetwear with the traditional elegance of golf, Malbon reinvents the sport's image, making it more accessible and stylish. Known for its biweekly drops and high-profile collaborations—ranging from FootJoy to Coca-Cola, Jimmy Choo, and even the Wu-Tang Clan—Malbon has built a loyal following. Fun fact: Erica Malbon is Filipina, sparking hopes for future designs inspired by Filipino culture.
But Malbon is more than just apparel. Their Buckets Club connects golfers, athletes, artists, and creatives, offering exclusive perks like early product releases, invitations to special store events, and beginner-friendly golf events. Whether you're new to the game or a seasoned pro, the Buckets Club ensures there’s something for everyone.
Also spotted on the store's facade is a logo for TKG Lifestyle, a local retail group known for redefining the shopping experience in the Philippines. TKG is behind successful ventures like Gentle Monster, % Arabica, and Pretty Huge fitness, suggesting that the upcoming Malbon store will be more than just a shopping destination—it will be a unique experience.
