What to look for at Purveyr Fair 2026
From local labels and exclusive drops to a Tokyo-Manila fashion exchange, these are the things worth seeking out this September
If you want a snapshot of where Philippine fashion is right now, PURVEYR Fair 2026 is a pretty good place to start. Returning on September 12–13, 2026, the Fair is expanding to two tents at the World Trade Center, creating a 5,200-sq.m. playground for the country’s creative community.
This year’s Marketplace brings together more than 100 indoor merchants, with names such as WOMA, Groundwork Apparel, Saan Saan, Proudrace, Randolf, HA.MÜ, Sports Paradise, Le Ngok, RIOtaso, Good Luck Humans, Revibe Culture, Courier, MOLD, Archivo 1984, MOTHERLAND PH, and Yen Kyla. Beyond the familiar names, part of the appeal is discovering what’s next, with brands using the Fair to debut new collections, products, and limited Fair-exclusive releases.
There’s also a new outdoor Marketplace, giving even more designers, labels, and creative groups room to show what they’ve been working on. For anyone who likes their fashion with a little hunting involved, consider this your excuse to browse slowly.
The Fair’s fashion conversation also extends beyond the shopping floor. On September 13, 2026, Tokyo and Manila take the spotlight in “Exploring Fashion Markets: Tokyo vs Manila,” featuring Toru Inoue, Buyer of International Gallery Beams, and Reo Yoshioka, Japan Brand Director of Denim Tears and Buyer of CECUM. Their discussion looks at the differences between the two fashion markets and how greater exchange could open new possibilities for Filipino creatives.
Of course, Purveyr Fair isn’t strictly about clothes. The expanded Food Hall, live music, and two DJ booths make the weekend feel more like a cultural gathering than a traditional trade fair. On September 12, 2026, the Purveyr Stage will feature nine live acts, while September 13, 2026 shifts toward talks and conversations.
What began in 2016 as a fundraising project for Purveyr Magazine has grown considerably since then. This year’s larger footprint feels like a reflection of the creative scene itself: more labels, more ideas, more people paying attention, and increasingly, more reasons to look beyond Manila.
For fashion people, though, the real draw is simple: come curious, leave with something you didn’t know you were looking for.
Purveyr Fair 2026 runs September 12–13, 2026, from 11a.m. to 9p.m. at the World Trade Center Tent + Outdoor Tent.
