The Big Garment Sale: By Invitation Only

This is becoming the most awaited factory sale in the country today. I've received a lot of inquiries about this sale via my blog. Indeed, this is an Awesome Factory Sale! The sale is held every middle of the year and during the Christmas season. It is usually by invitation only. The invites are sent out by Divine Flores and if you've been here once, you should be included in their mailing list. If you don't have an invite but you know somebody who have been here before and who got an invite, you can tag along. It is usually held from Thursday to Saturday. You'll be surprised that there are a lot of people who go on a Thursday to be ahead of the crowd. (Actually, I don't understand why)

If you have been to this sale, let me know what you think about this Awesome Factory Sale.

If you haven't been here, let me know if you need an invite and directions.

[jill]

hi anton.

thanks so much for sending me an invite. i really appreciate it.

i also admire your desire to spread the good news about our country. proud to be pinoy!

God bless you.

[Cleo]

Hi Anton,

I understand your girl friends' sentiments, so your courage to share the good news in the face of such disapproval is even more appreciated.

Re your comment about not knwing why people would go there on a Thursday - not only because it's the first day of the sale and you get first dibs at the available stock, but also it's expected there will be less people then as most have to work on weekdays. I'm seriously thinking of going AWOL. I expect Saturdat to be jam-packed. Hahaha.

BTW, the invite contained a map on the first page. Is the second page really blank? It just had the company's letterhead.

Thanks sso much again. More power!

Cleo

[Yapee]

[ryo]

Hi Anton!

I've been living in Makati for almost a year, and your blog makes my life in Makati truly awesome!

I read about the sale in your blog and I've been looking forward to go, but didn't know it was invitation-only...

Can I get an invitation too?

[Dyubi]

Hi Anton,

My friends and I are dying to go there. Would you mind sending / securing us invites? Link to email Divine Flores doesnt work.

Thanks,
Juvy

[susan]

il be going tomorrow can u reserve me a slot tnx in advance susan yambao

[Angry Reader]

@Susan -- I think Susan should not be given an invitation to the sales event. She should learn not to spam the message board with several dups.

[Indi]

[Anne]

Hi Anton! I've just been to the sale this morning and it definitely was a BIG factory sale!!! Prices of the stuff are not super cheap but good enough. I did my early christmas shopping and my husband was able to buy lots of shirts. Downside, few available big sizes for 'sexy' women like me (haha!), or maybe it was more of an advantage na din...hmmm
Will I come back on the next sale? YES!
BTW, small world that I know the owner pala...thanks again!

[k]

hi anton. thanks for sharing the invitation. i went there last saturday after convincing my bf to go with me. was afraid that he'll be pissed with me because of the distance.. turns out that he bought more than i do. haha. thanks again. we had a wonderful time. =)

i know this is such a cliche but really, keep up the good work! ;)

[charmmy]

hi...
can i pls get an invite too?
thanks!

[cherry]

oh my! i am late. at any rate, please include me in the december sale invite. thanks :)

[Maybelle]

hi anton, i would really like to get an invite to this sale. thanks

[cleo]

Hi Anton,

Thanks again for the invite. My friend and I went last Saturday afternoon. I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't that far from Metro Manila. I was excited when I saw the racks and racks of polos and T-shirts and I thing 3 very looong tables filled with clothing. I was too lazy to dig in though. It was easier to browse the items on the racks. Anyway I was able to buy a few things, kept within budget and was quite happy. Finished off the entire shopping experience with a Xanadu from UCC Vienna Cafe in Tomas Morato. Just perfect!

Best regards,
Cleo

[Jonna]

Hi Anton kindly please include me sa invites for the December Sale :)

thanks so much

[dale]

Hi Anton-

I went to the sale last saturday (afternoon) and what i found out surprised me. The merchandise for men were so much more than the merchandise for ladies (and they looked classier too). I ended up buying more than yeng (my gf), but i bought shirts mostly. She had a more varied selection of shirts, skirts, shorts, & capris.

She could have probably bought more had we arrived earlier, but of course being an employee has restrictions (both time and money! Haha).

Anyway, my gf and I really enjoyed the sale, and I just wanted to thank you for the invite. Looking forward to the december run!

[Mark Po]

Hi Anton,

Thanks for the invite, too bad wasn't able to free up my time to go there. When will the next sale be? Hopefully I would be able to know before hand so that I can schedule ahead of time.

thanks.

[s_by]

hi anton,

thanks for the invite. my officemateds went there last sunday = ) t'was okay.

love the work you do here... when i grow up, i want to be just like you = ). hehehe. by the way does your wife work or used to work for a telco. somewhere here in mandaluong?

[Lyn]

Hello, pls send me future invites on the next available sale, thanks

[Marc]

Hi Anton, the Sharmskee and I went to the Meycauayan warehouse last Thursday and came out P10,000 poorer. This is the first time I spent that much on clothes in one sitting and actually felt good about it. I spent most of my time raiding the t-shirt area (Quicksilver, A&F, Replay, Ecko, etc. -- I've completed my summer Bora look in August). The good ones I missed out on were the RL shirts. Sayang coz there weren't any M or S sizes in stock. If I was 6'2 and 50 lbs heavier that sale would have been perfect!

Blooper: when we went in the lady guard asked me for an invite, I told her I wasn't able to print one. She goes, "sir sa text po yun" :) Manang guard was kind enough to let us pass though.

Tip: Get there early. The small sizes disappear quickly.

BTW, everything you said about the sale was true EXCEPT for the one about it being a secret Chinese place. My alert eye caught Spanish mestiza and fair morena models ;)

[Marc]

I would also like to echo Dale's comment above. For the first time in history, I was able to outshop my gf :)

[mindz]

hi anton! Thanks very much for the invite! I asked my bf to accompany me to the warehouse sale. He enjoyed it so much and asked me not to bring him back to that place again coz' it's addicting daw pala to shop.hehe! About the sale, i didn't expected that mens items are sold much more than ladies wear. Very happy to be part of your adventure anton! Hopefully I could join your next roadtrip and finally meet your family! =>

[ellaine]

hi please keep me posted for the next sale please!and also an invite!!thanks
