Anko marks first year in the Philippines with community-focused celebration

A year after launching in the Philippines, Australian home and lifestyle brand Anko has cemented itself as a favorite among Filipino shoppers by celebrating its first anniversary with a weekend filled with creativity, community activities, and festive experiences across several Ayala Malls.

The celebration opened at the Palm Drive Activity Center in Ayala Malls Glorietta 2, where shoppers enjoyed festive photo zones, gifting stations, and a special appearance from brand ambassador Anne Curtis. Members of the Anko Club were treated to exclusive experiences, reflecting the brand’s ongoing effort to foster a loyal and engaged community.

Brand continues to grow in the Philippines

Throughout the weekend, Anko extended the celebration with creative workshops at its Ayala Malls TriNoma, Alabang Town Center, and Manila Bay stores. Sessions on calligraphy, gift-wrapping, and other crafts inspired attendees to create meaningful holiday gifts while reinforcing Anko’s mission to bring thoughtful, affordable design to Filipino homes.

Since debuting locally, Anko has expanded from one to four stores in top malls, with a fifth location set to open at Ayala Malls Feliz. The brand continues to refresh shelves with weekly arrivals across home, kitchen, toys, beauty, and pet categories, and recently entered the small appliances segment to offer even more lifestyle essentials.

Community first approach defines Anko’s success

Anko has also built a vibrant digital community, growing its Anko Club to more than 34,000 members who enjoy early access to collections and exclusive perks. The brand unveiled its holiday lookbook to help Filipinos style their homes and curate gifts this Christmas season, while its Ko-Creator Program empowers local creators to collaborate and share design inspiration.

Looking ahead, Anko aims to deepen its connection with Filipino families through more store openings, collaborations, and family-centered campaigns. The brand remains committed to offering stylish, functional, and affordable products anchored in Australian design and Filipino warmth.
