Sperry Top-Sider: An American Original Now in the Philippines

September 5, 2011 By Cille Anne 2 Comments

              Titus (looking over my shoulder): What’s that?
              Me: I got invited to this event, it’s an introduction of a shoe brand in Cebu, Sperry you know it?
             Titus: Top sider? That’s a classic baby.
             Me: Oh yeah? (I was totally clueless),  did you have one before?
            Titus: Yes.
            Me: So James and Tantan too? (his brothers)
            Titus: Nope, it was James then handed down to Tantan then me.

            Me: Really?! Wow! How long did you have it?

            Titus: Not really sure but it was for a long time. It’s a very durable shoe.

SHOEDOWN: Carcar vs Liliw Espadrilles and Sandals

December 2, 2010 By Cille Anne 6 Comments

I have become familiar with both Carcar, Cebu and Liliw, Laguna’s footwear industry. And if I compare the produce of these two towns, when it comes to any abaca laced sandals or wedges, I have to give it to Liliw made. When it comes to espadrille I think they are at par with each other in design and quality wise. Liliw ladies espadrilles’ price range is from P230 to P300 comparable to that of  Carcar made espadrilles.

Carcar famous espadrilles!

I am a proud Cebuana but I just have to lament the fact that Carcar produces so many cheap sandals that easily disintegrated, these are the ones you see all

Sojourn to Carcar

Carcar Espadrilles

At the constant prodding of my brother Nicko, we finally made the trip to Carcar, Cebu and the main reason is espadrille. Espadrille, that come back kid from the 80’s, has become so popular again! In fact I am noticing espadrilles everywhere in Cebu – in malls, in tiangges, in sidestreets – it feels like an espadrille invasion has overtaken the city! Despite its availability in all sort of places, we decided to head south, travel to where espadrilles are made, you know maybe we can get a good bargain from direct suppliers of espadrilles in Carcar, you can never know heheheh.
