PURVEYR Fair 2026 Doubles Down On Manila’s Creative Community

By

The 12th edition of PURVEYR Fair doubles its footprint while bringing together some of Manila’s most interesting creative labels and businesses.

PURVEYR Fair marks its 12th year on September 12 and 13 at the World Trade Center, and the event has outgrown its own tent. Last year’s iteration drew more than 10,000 visitors, filling the original tent so completely that organizers had no choice but to expand. So what can we expect from this year’s edition? PURVEYR Fair 2026 presents us with two tents and roughly 5,200 square meters (nearly double the space from 2025), with room for 113 indoor merchants, 24 outdoor merchants, 23 food and beverage stalls, and 18 partners.

Is PURVEYR Fair 2026 Bigger Than Past Editions? Yes.

A new outdoor marketplace extends the shopping well past the main tent. Meanwhile, the Food Hall gets its own dedicated space this year, along with its first-ever DJ booth. Programming holds steady as one of the fair’s biggest draws, with two DJ booths running all weekend and nine live acts taking the PURVEYR Stage, including CHICOSCI, OZO, and Up Dharma Down featuring Bea Lorenzo. 

The second day trades music for conversation, closing out with four talks. Toru Inoue of BEAMS and Reo Yoshioka of Denim Tears and CECUM travel in from Tokyo for “Exploring Fashion Markets: Tokyo vs Manila,” a discussion organizers describe as a first step toward linking the two cities’ fashion industries and opening doors for local designers abroad. 

Between the merchants, the music, and that international exchange, PURVEYR Fair keeps making the case that Manila’s creative community has plenty left to say. Here are a few booths you should look out for at Purveyr Fair 2026.

Booths To Check Out At This Year’s PURVEYR

Seine Studios x ADR x Pilosopo

Silver jewelry brand Seine Studios joins forces with accessories labels ADR and Pilosopo at Booth 93. Expect ADR’s signature accessories alongside Pilosopo’s retro-futuristic chainmail bags, a pairing that turns hardware into a wearable thrill.

EC x Eustacia x Cornell’s Tailoring x Happiness Research Facilities

EC brings its small-batch, one-off, and retaso pieces into conversation with three collaborators: Eustacia, Cornell’s Tailoring, and Happiness Research Facilities. Look out for Studio Eustacia’s shell bags, which reappear in new forms and fresh cherry and matcha colorways.

Catsua

The Cebu-based footwear brand brings its archive to Manila under the banner “The Last Dance,” using its booth to close one chapter before opening another. Old styles step aside for new ones, so anyone who has wanted a pair of the wooden-sole Una platform sandals should treat this as their last shot.

The Indie Bookshop by Everything’s Fine, Istorya Studios, Mt. Cloud Bookshop, and Savage Mind

Four fixtures of Philippine literary team up for The Indie Bookshop, gathering local titles under one roof and using the space to ask what independence really means in the business of books.

Overlay Designs

At Booth 101, Overlay Designs shows off its geometric, punk-leaning leather goods, headlined by The Wring, a zip-top bag built to carry all your loot, complete with pockets and a flask band that keep the essentials in place.
