Tala Manila

During the holidays, Salcedo Village was so quiet that it looked like a ghost town and not the usual busy CBD(Central Business District) area that it is filled with people rushing to go to work. Holidays and weekends are times when Salcedo becomes a quiet neighborhood and it is during these times that I enjoy walking around and discovering new places.

A few days before the end of 2014, I walked around Salcedo and spotted this shop at the back of Three Salcedo Place building called Tala Manila.

It was a pleasant discovery since the place is nice and carries good quality products.

Dresses that can be worn for a brunch. or a get together.

Hand made bags from Osaka, Japan that can be used for the beach,
the gym, or for travel.

Nackymade glasses which are hand made and bespoke glasses
from Kobe, Japan 

Wooden dolls which can be placed as cute and interesting
display stuff at a home.

 During the time I visited, they also have Anglepoise lamps, an iconic British brand lamp that was developed in the 1930's and is considered as a timeless classic.

Anglepoise lamps in different colours.

I ended up buying a simple but nice and comfy dress for myself. I also experienced good customer service since the sales person was attentive and even offered some good chocolates while I was waiting for the receipt.

The table set-up functions as the shop's cashier area.

Tala Manila is located at Three Salcedo Place building in Salcedo Village, Makati City.

If you often go to the Salcedo Saturday Market, it is the building right across the parking area where the Saturday market is set-up along Tordesillas Street.

It is a nice stopover for some easy  and stress- free shopping time or if you are looking for some gifts.
