PENSHOPPE introduces its first Designer Lab collection with ABAKADA, bringing Chicago streetwear and Filipino creativity together in 23 limited-edition pieces.

Chicago and Manila may be miles apart, but fashion has a way of bringing different creative perspectives together.
For PENSHOPPE and ABAKADA, that connection takes shape through a limited-edition collection inspired by both cities.
On October 21, 2026, PENSHOPPE officially launched its first-ever Designer Lab collaboration with ABAKADA, a Filipino-owned, Chicago-based retail and creative brand known for its contemporary take on Filipino identity and culture. The collection draws inspiration from Chicago streetwear and Manila’s fashion landscape.
First previewed at the recent PURVEYR event, the collection features 23 limited-edition pieces that reimagine familiar PENSHOPPE silhouettes through ABAKADA's approach to design. The lineup includes relaxed T-shirts, pullovers, hoodies, mesh jerseys, resort shirts, and varsity jackets.

The collaboration also introduces PENSHOPPE’s Designer Lab initiative, which aims to create space for new ideas and creative voices in fashion. Through collaborations with both emerging and established creatives, Designer Lab seeks to bring Filipino creativity to local and international audiences while exploring different approaches to PENSHOPPE's designs.
“Through Designer Lab, we want to continue creating opportunities for collaboration and new creative perspectives. Our partnership with ABAKADA allows us to look at PENSHOPPE through a different lens while celebrating the Filipino creativity that continues to shape fashion today,” said Brandon Liu, Vice President of PENSHOPPE and OXGN.

The PENSHOPPE x ABAKADA Designer Lab collection is priced from ₱599 to ₱5,499 and is available at select PENSHOPPE stores nationwide, including SM Fairview, Festival Mall Alabang, SM City Cebu, SM Pampanga, Ayala Center Cebu, SM Mall of Asia, SM North EDSA, SM Megamall, SM Lanang, Ayala Glorietta, SM Clark, and One Ayala.
