Australian home and lifestyle brand Anko is set to open its second store in the Philippines in May.

“We’re beyond excited to bring Anko to the south and reach even more Filipino homes. Our mission has always been simple: to make stylish, affordable quality products accessible to everyone. Whether you’re refreshing your space or looking for everyday essentials, Anko matches you, matches your home, and matches your life,” Rachel Turner, country manager of Anko Philippines, said.

Anko’s upcoming branch in Alabang Town Center will carry curated range of home essentials that celebrate the central role of home and family in Filipino culture.

Crafts and beauty must-haves are also offered, so are other quality items at budget-friendly prices, including innovative storage solutions, home décor, educational toys, nursery items and pet products.

Filipino market

Anko entered the local market in November 2024, opening its first store at the ground floor of Glorietta 2 in Makati City.

Philippines is a vibrant market where people resonate with the brand, Turner previously said.

“The culture here, like back home, places a strong emphasis on family. With over a hundred million people in the Philippines compared to our home market of 30 million, where we sell over a billion units annually, we see immense potential,” she added.

Anko has a design team that travels the world for inspiration in creating products that seamlessly fit into any lifestyle.

Known for its on-trend designs and low prices, Anko has become a household name in Australia and New Zealand, selling over a billion products annually. The brand is part of the Kmart Group and is owned by Wesfarmers Ltd, one of Australia’s leading companies.
