Cubao Expo: a hidden vintage shopping spot

Remember my Haji Lane post a couple of days ago? Well well well...it aint only in Sing baby! I got the same feeling when I went to our very own Cubao Expo! The Viva La Vintage vibe is all over the place and I was even able to take a snapshot of this store called K.A.R.M.A.! Too bad it's not open. Actually, most of the stores are closed and there are notes on the doors saying 'Store opens upon request.' Very Haji Lane-ish!

Clickie clickie for more..

But still, can you see that very fasyon red circular luggage, the vintage purse and the intricately made furnitures? I can totally sing 'My love is like whoa!' I'm in love with the place!


Aside from the vintage vibe...you can also see the cabaret-ish look. Thanks to Mogwai (see photo below), which is a restaurant/bar/screening room. For more info on Mogwai, click this. Haji Lane didn't have this one. So heads up Noypis! :p

I've been in Pinas all 24 years of my life and I just saw this place last December. It's never too late to walk the streets of Metro Manila and find something really unique. Btw, Cubao Expo is the old Marikina Shoe Expo. :) It's located behind the Gateway Mall.
