Platinum Fashion Mall & Mango Sale-For the Fashion Crazy

June 22, 2006

 PLATINUM MALL-Bangkok

This Mall is for girls! If you have a teenage daughter, bring her to this mall and it wont really put so much holes in your pocket.

Dont be misled by the appearance of this mall, it may look classy on the outside but the layout of stalls inside is like the 168 mall in Divisoria and prices of items are cheap.

The 168 Mall in Divisoria(they say a shabu front that’s why items are cheaper than in China)

So you think goods would be more expensive here(Platinum) than the shops at the Pratunam market? Look again, 70% of the time, things you can find in this mall is less expensive. Shirts are selling at 80 Baht(about Php 90 or S$3.3) Dresses selling at 100 Bht. Gorgeous pumps,flat shoes and sandals selling at 160 Bht or about S$6.7 or Php180.

If you want wholesale, go to the Baiyoke Sky Mall. I was embarrased by a stallowner here when I was trying to bargain for the price of a shirt, the Arabian looking guy told me,"Please donot bargain, I will just give you a discount, this is not a bargain store but a wholesale shop". That made me leave hastily and I made sure I didnt pass the stall again.

MANGO SALEMango Boutique at Shaw Centre-Scotts Road, Singapore

While on the way to my weekly novena prayers at the Novena Church today,I happened to pass by the Mango Store Isetan store)along Scotts Road, and they were having a 50% sale. Each client going in was given a plastic bag to put their purchases in.The one giving out the plastic bags was wearing a tuxedo. I thought there was a cocktail party going on.

When I peeked through the glass window I saw that it was only for Mango Gold Card members(or something to this effect). Maybe this means only  special card holders or regular shoppers at Mango are allowed to go in. Each girl was carrying at least 5 pieces of garments in their hands aside from those already in their plastic bags.

So I guess maybe the sale was really cheap.
