MANILA, Philippines - A little bit folksy, a little bit rock ‘n’ roll. Lucky jeans, the purveyor of modern bohemian fashion in the ‘90s, is now in Manila. The brainchild of childhood friends Gene Montesano and Barry Perlman, the brand got its start with good-fitting, vintage inspired jeans with a cool California vibe. Casual pieces like T-shirts, mini skirts and cardigans are given a twist with colorful prints, appliqués and studded detail. Very rock ‘n’ roll meets flower child. Perfect for that laid-back soul that prefers to be in comfy clothes while still making a statement.
From the store’s interiors to the embroidered dresses and hippie accessories, everything about the brand screams boho-chic. For men, they offer modernized corduroy jeans and tie-dye tees, baseball shirts and denim jackets. The denim line boasts a great fit for every body type and the four-leaf clover logo with the words “Lucky You” stitched onto the fly shield makes it the quirkiest, too. Lucky Brand jeans is located at Greenbelt 5. — Anne Bella
