Manila welcomes first West Elm, PBTeen stores

An exclusive grand launch marked the introduction of West Elm and PBteen to the Philippines as they opened their doors in Estancia Mall at Capitol Commons. They join Williams-Sonoma, Inc. brands Pottery Barn and Pottery Barn Kids in the country.

Anthony Huang, president of SSI Group, Inc., graciously greeted guests to the opening festivities. Following the success of Pottery Barn and Pottery Barn Kids in Central Square last year, Huang was encouraged to open new branches in the bustling Estancia Mall and introduce the two new brands—West Elm and PBteen. Proudly he said, “We’re the only country in Southeast Asia that carries these two brands.”
