A brand that has become part of Filipino homes and hearts

Come to think of it, Anko has only been in the Philippines for a year, yet it already feels like a familiar part of our everyday routines. As a mom who loves creating a warm and cozy home, I have seen how Anko pieces quietly fill our spaces with charm and function. From storage finds to kitchen tools to cute gifts for the kids, it has become one of those brands you naturally reach for.

On November 7, 2025, Anko marked its first anniversary with a joyful celebration at the Palm Drive Activity Center in Ayala Malls Glorietta 2. The space came alive with birthday energy and the start of the holiday spirit. Shoppers were welcomed with festive photo spots, gifting stations, and a special appearance by brand ambassador Anne Curtis, who inspired many families and fans during the event.

All weekend long, Anko extended the celebration through creative workshops in their TriNoma, Alabang Town Center, and Manila Bay stores. Moms, kids, and shoppers enjoyed hands-on activities like calligraphy and gift wrapping. These DIY sessions encouraged everyone to make thoughtful, personal presents for the coming holidays.

A Brighter First Year

Since opening its first store, Anko has stayed true to its promise of making everyday living brighter with beautifully designed yet affordable items. From home and kitchen essentials to toys, beauty, and even pet items, the brand has consistently brought fresh finds to Filipino households. New items arrive weekly, making every visit feel like a small treasure hunt.

This year also marked Anko’s expansion into small appliances, giving families more ways to simplify their daily routines.

The warm reception from Filipino shoppers helped Anko grow from one store to four branches in Glorietta, TriNoma, Alabang Town Center, and Manila Bay, with another opening soon in Ayala Malls Feliz.

“It’s been such an exciting and fulfilling first year. We launched Anko with the goal of offering quality, design, and affordability all in one place, and the response from Filipino shoppers has been incredible, which inspired us to move forward,” shares Rachel Turner, Country Manager of Anko Philippines.

Connecting with Filipino Families

Throughout the year, Anko put great effort into building genuine connections with its growing community. The brand’s campaigns and in-store events celebrated love, family, and togetherness. Whether through intimate gatherings or creative workshops, Anko made sure each moment felt close to home and aligned with its vision of bringing joy and functionality to family spaces.

This holiday season, Anko also launched its Christmas lookbook featuring styling guides that show how to incorporate its affordable pieces into real Filipino homes. It offers inspiration for decorating, gifting, and creating meaningful celebrations.

Beyond the stores, Anko nurtures an active digital community through the Anko Club, which now has over 34,000 members enjoying exclusive perks, early access to new products, and daily design ideas through the app.

The brand also continues its Ko-Creator Program, partnering with local content creators who share Anko’s love for design and authentic storytelling. This initiative not only inspires shoppers but also provides creators a space to showcase talent and grow.

Looking Ahead

As Anko enters its second year in the Philippines, the brand remains committed to making everyday living brighter for families. The positive feedback and loyalty of Filipino shoppers have shaped its journey and strengthened its purpose.

“For us, growth is about more than opening new stores — it’s about enriching the experience,” Turner shares. “We want every Anko store to feel like a place where Filipinos can find inspiration, comfort, and joy,” she added.

With more store openings, creative collaborations, and family-centered activities on the way, Anko looks forward to continuing its mission of combining Australian design with Filipino heart.
