Tsinelas
(or slippers) are one of the fashion accessories that never go out of
style. You can find the best quality of
slippers (and shoes) in a small Laguna Town of Liliw, the Tsinelas Capital of
the Philippines and Footwear Capital of Laguna.
The
footwear industry has been one of Liliw’s major industries for a long time now. The factories are what they call “backyard
factories” because they are just located at the backyard of shoe store owners. There are only a few, but skilled shoemakers; no
big and high-tech shoe machineries and equipments. The
shoes and slippers are hand-made, which what makes the slippers and the shoes more durable.
More
than 80 shoe stores lined along the strip of Gat Tayaw Street. Most
of the buyers are traders, retailers, and wholesalers, who sometimes
put their own labels to the Liliw products. For shoe-aholics like me, it is like a paradise where I can feel a glow of happiness!
Some of the most popular shops are
Entrata (the only airconditioned shop where shoe prices are a little bit higher but designs are trendier), Badong Footwear (one of the oldest), Socialite, Kyrah, Hanz,
Flat Espadrilles for ladies are as low as P200
Men's Espadrilles as low as P300
Shoe designs are stylish and trendy...
Prices range from P300 to P500. Flats, around P200.
Liliw bags for as low as P400...
Chic killer heels available at Hanz Footwear for as low as P600! How cool is that!
To get to Liliw, the best route would be via
Rizal-Laguna road network, for those coming from the Eastern part of Metro Manila. Another route would be through the South Luzon
Expressway then proceed to Liliw via San Pablo City or via Sta. Cruz Laguna. View location map HERE.

ReplyDeleteNice blog :)

Cheers,

Shops open every day from around 7 am to 7pm. If you want to buy shoes that are 100% locally made go down the street not the top.
ReplyDeletehi po.. how much po kaya yung mga wedge.. pag wholesale po mas mababa?
ReplyDeleteDepends on the style..usually the price ranges from P300 to P400...but of course, wholesale price should be a lot lower.

Deleteif from manila, lets say lawton, how can i go there at gat tayaw st. liliw?
ReplyDeleteSorry but I'm not so good at directions. What I can share is that you need to take the SLEX going to Sta. Cruz Laguna via Calamba, Los Banos route. Then at Sta. Cruz, there's a road going to Liliw-Nagcarlan to get to Liliw.
