In the bustling metropolis of Manila, the fashion scene is alive and well. Among these is this unique store that blends luxury with accessibility and style with sustainability. The Bag Hub, founded by Maia Urrutia in 2009, has become a pioneer in the luxury resale market in the Philippines. Starting from a humble beginning, it has grown into a venture that offers high-end designer pieces while promoting environmental responsibility.

Urrutia's journey with The Bag Hub is a testament to the transformative power of passion and perseverance.

It started with her serendipitous discovery of luxury treasures in thrift stores during her formative years as a new employee who wanted to dress well for the office.

“It all began with me hunting for luxury pieces in ukay-ukays [thrift stores] when I was fresh out of college,” she recalls. “I figured I could resell those great finds and earn cash from my hobby. I still relate to women who aspire to get the best value for their hardearned money.”
