A year ago, Anko, Australia’s beloved home and lifestyle brand, opened its first store in the Philippines, blending Australian creativity with Filipino warmth. Today, it celebrates its first anniversary as a vibrant part of Filipino homes with a weekend of festivities that highlighted its connection with the community.
The celebrations kicked off at the Palm Drive Activity Center in Ayala Malls Glorietta 2, where Anko transformed the space into a hub of birthday and holiday cheer. Shoppers who joined the Anko Club enjoyed immersive experiences, festive photo spots, interactive gifting zones, and a special meet-and-greet with brand ambassador and actress Anne Curtis. The festivities continued across Anko stores in TriNoma, Alabang Town Center, and Manila Bay, featuring creative workshops on gift wrapping, calligraphy, and more, inspiring shoppers to craft personal, meaningful holiday gifts.
Since its arrival, Anko has stayed true to its promise of brightening everyday living with well-designed, affordable products spanning home, kitchen, toys, beauty, pet essentials, and now small appliances. The brand updates its collections weekly, keeping the shopping experience fresh and inspiring. Its rapid growth from one store to four—and a fifth soon in Ayala Malls Feliz—reflects the warm reception from Filipino shoppers.
“Launching Anko with quality, design, and affordability in one place has been incredibly rewarding,” said Rachel Turner, Country Manager of Anko Philippines. Beyond physical stores, Anko nurtures a digital community of over 34,000 Anko Club members, offering exclusive perks, early access to collections, and everyday design inspiration. Programs like the Ko-Creator Program also champion local creators and creativity.
As Anko enters its second year, it remains committed to enriching Filipino homes with style, comfort, and joy. Shoppers can join the journey via the Anko Club, download the app, or follow @anko_philippines on Instagram and TikTok for the latest collections, events, and collaborations.
