August 13, 2025 - Taytay, Rizal

Once known only to Filipinos as the “Garment Capital of the Philippines,” Taytay, Rizal is now setting its sights on a much larger runway—the global fashion stage. With a bold plan, creative craftsmanship, and a vision to rival the likes of Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh, and Dhaka, Taytay is not just making clothes—it’s making waves.

The Demand Is Rising—and Taytay Is Ready to Cut In

As global retailers and fashion brands seek alternatives to China and Bangladesh, Taytay emerges as a compelling option—affordable, creative, and strategically located in Southeast Asia.

“We’re not just selling clothes. We’re offering a fresh, vibrant, and highly adaptable garment supply chain,” says a Taytay industry leader.

The Master Plan: How Taytay Plans to Dominate the Global Garment Map

1. Build the Brand Beyond Borders

Taytay is launching a global branding campaign under the banner:
“Taytay: The Fashion Capital of the Philippines.”

At the forefront of this initiative is Noubikko P. Ulanday, a seasoned fashion branding strategist and CEO of RPConnect. Known for his work across Asia and Europe, Ulanday is spearheading Taytay’s positioning as a reliable and exciting sourcing destination for private labels and fashion retailers worldwide.

“This is not just about exporting garments—it’s about exporting a story, a culture, and a new standard of quality and creativity from the Philippines,” says Noubikko P. Ulanday.
“Taytay has what it takes to compete globally—but it needs strategic branding and the right international connections. That’s where we come in.”

His involvement brings not only credibility but also a network of European trade partners and buyers, especially as Taytay expands into markets like the Czech Republic.

2. Go Where the Buyers Are

Taytay is targeting high-impact fashion expos worldwide:

• STYL-KABO (Brno, Czech Republic)

• Designblok (Prague)

• MAGIC Las Vegas, Texworld Paris, and more

These events will showcase Taytay’s manufacturing capabilities with:

• Customizable, on-trend collections

• Booths featuring Filipino fabrics, embroidery, and eco-textile innovation

• On-the-spot ordering and sample processing

Ulanday is set to be a key speaker in these expos, introducing the “Made in Taytay” movement and offering seminars on:

• Cross-border branding strategies

• Packaging for global shelf appeal

• Creating catalogs and campaigns for private labels
