The style file at SM Makati just got a major, colorful upgrade as global children’s fashion powerhouse Balabala celebrated its grand Manila debut on 3 October 2026. It was an afternoon of pure fashion magic inside the Children’s Wear Department (Kids Fashion) on the third level, where the city’s mini trendsetters, active dreamers, and stylish parents gathered to toast to an ultimate premium kidswear wonderland. From the vibrant main counter to the hyper-fun pop-up concourse, the grand launch proved that dressing up should be nothing less than an epic adventure, packed with high-style play and undeniable playground flair.
This highly anticipated collection is exclusively available at the SM Store Makati, making it the only destination to snag these ultra-premium pieces. The lineup effortlessly marries runway-ready looks with clever utility, showcasing everything from high-tech breathable activewear and preppy athleisure to whimsical everyday coordinates and smart, lightweight footwear.
