What you're seeing at Archeology is only an outlet sale of Team Manila, which ends this Sunday.
You must go to the other side and see how this small cubby hole at Ecoville

grew into this

In fact, here are Team Manila founders Mon and Jowee in 2005

and today

Success hasn't gotten into their heads. I'd say they're still the same cool guys we met more than four years ago at a Swarovski event.
Only now they're practically a household name in the local graphic design world.
In the beginning they used to sell T-shirts, pouches, badges and a couple of tote bags. Now they have those, plus stationery, clocks, lomo cameras, wrapping papers, children's tees, and more.



Some of our favorite things:
The softest kids' tees

Spontaneous art, which I hope they'd do on canvass

Election tee

Tissue covers

Passport cases

and the pouches

Visit the newest Team Manila store at Rockwell and see how they've grown.

i used to hoard their store everytime i go back home for a visit. that's where i get my pasalubongs...
i so want their clocks and bags. i was quite surprised when i visited them a couple of years and they were already selling lomo cameras.. coolness!
anyway, you wouldn't happen to know if they ship internationally, noh?

And only until recently that I realized that my 2nd cousin, Nico Bacani (the guy in the middle with Raimund M.) is one of the people behind Team Manila lol!
