March of the Penguins

MANILA, Philippines - For the fashion-forward male, the stylish friend, even the dapper dad this holiday season, Original Penguin brings style-savvy gifts for every Christmas tree.

Choices are wide-ranging — from Original Penguin’s signature tees with a modern edge to new shoe and accessory collections.

“We are introducing several items this season, and some of them will only be available during the holidays,” says Cheryl Lao, managing partner of Anthem Shoppes, Inc., the exclusive licensee and retail partner of Original Penguin in the Philippines.

Limited-Edition Watches

Definite must-haves are the limited-edition watches: Drummond and The Flip. Both embody the very ideals that have distinguished Original Penguin from other brands for generations — classic, yet very modern at the same time.

Take, for example, the vintage feel of the Drummond’s tooled-gold Penguin logo hour hand or The Flip’s black oversized case that have been combined with modern style elements, making them perfect for both young urban professionals and rock stars as well.

Retro And Fashion-Forward Shoes

The same thing goes for Original Penguin’s shoes, which are retro and fashion-forward at the same time. Made from different materials and in unique styles you won’t find in most shoe brands, Original Penguin shoes come in corduroy, leather and houndstooth with patterns like plaid and stripes.

This holiday season, three of their most popular designs will be made available in Original Penguin stores in the Philippines. These include the Ernie Gore, Mix-Cord and the Blink.

“Ernie Gore is an Original Penguin exclusive and is one of the brand’s top-selling shoes. Here, you can see the fine detailing that goes into every Original Penguin creation,” Lao says.

Finely-Detailed Belts, Bags And Wallets

Fine detailing is likewise what you’ll find in Original Penguin belts, which are likewise going to be made available in Philippine stores this season. Choices include the Webbed & Leather, which comes in khaki and navy blue, and the Color Keeper, which comes in choices of black and brown.
