Do you like or want quality and trendy, yet inexpensive shoes? “Walk this Way” to Marikina.
Marikina is living up to its tag of being the ‘Shoe Capital of the Philippines’ when it launched this morning the 2012 Sapatos Festival. The program was held in front of the the newly constructed and conceptualized ‘Patio Del Zapateros’ near the Marikina Shoe Museum along J.P. Rizal St., in Barangay Sta. Elena.
Shoe shoppers are invited inside ’Patio Del Zapateros’ for the best deals in Marikina shoes. Shoe tripping to this place will give you a glimpse of history, of how the industry of ‘sapatos’ started in the Marikina one hundred twenty (125) years ago, through the Marikina Shoe Museum (which is close to the ancestral house of the father of ‘shoemaking industry’ in Marikina, Don Laureano Guevarra or Kapitan Moy); and a huge selection of quality and affordable Marikina-made shoes ready for shopping!

Hello! I was researching on leather handbag manufacturer’s in Marikina and stumbled upon your page. I want to get into the fashion industry and have a few handbag designs I need made. I read a previous post of yours regarding a list of handbag manufacturers as well as shoe manufacturers you were re-creating. I was wondering if you know of any trusted handbag manufacturers who can make a few bags for me? I would really appreciate it as I’ve been researching everywhere. Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon! Warm regards.
