A year ago, Australia’s beloved home and lifestyle brand, Anko, opened its doors to Filipino shoppers with a promise to blend Australian creativity with the warmth of Filipino family life. Since then, it has quietly grown into a favorite stop for practical moms, décor lovers, and families creating cozy, functional homes.
Anko recently marked its first anniversary with a weekend full of holiday cheer and family-friendly activities — a celebration that beautifully reflected the everyday joy the brand brings to many Filipino households.
Anko’s First Year: Home, Joy, and Brighter Living
The anniversary festivities officially began on November 7, 2025, at the Palm Drive Activity Center in Ayala Malls Glorietta 2, which transformed into a vibrant space filled with celebrations, gifting inspiration, and joyful moments. Shoppers who joined the Anko Club enjoyed special activities, festive photo corners, and a delightful meet-and-greet experience with brand ambassador Anne Curtis.
Throughout the weekend, creative workshops continued across Anko stores in TriNoma, Alabang Town Center, and Manila Bay. Moms, kids, and hobbyists enjoyed sessions like gift wrapping, calligraphy, and handmade gifting — perfect for creating heartfelt presents this Christmas season. These activities reflected the brand’s emphasis on thoughtfulness and its appreciation for the strong support of Filipino families throughout the year.
A Brighter First Year for Anko Philippines
Since its arrival, Anko has stayed dedicated to its promise of helping families build brighter and more joyful living spaces with well-designed, affordable finds. From home and kitchen essentials to toys, décor, beauty, pet items, and now small appliances, the brand continues to provide practical and stylish options for everyday Filipino households.
Weekly new arrivals keep the shopping experience fresh and inspiring, making it easy for moms to discover trendy, functional pieces without going over budget. This strong consumer connection fueled Anko’s rapid growth — now boasting four bustling branches in Glorietta, TriNoma, Alabang Town Center, and Manila Bay, with another store coming soon to Ayala Malls Feliz.
Rachel Turner, Country Manager of Anko Philippines, shared:
“It’s been such an exciting and fulfilling first year. We launched Anko with the goal of offering quality, design, and affordability all in one place, and the response from Filipino shoppers has been incredible, which inspired us to move forward.”
Building a Community Through Creativity and Connection
More than a store, Anko has been building a community centered on love, family, and the joy of thoughtful living. Its in-store workshops, intimate events, and curated campaigns have connected deeply with customers, especially moms who enjoy making their homes feel warm and intentional.
For constant inspiration, Anko has released its Christmas Lookbook featuring beautifully styled ideas for decorating and gift-giving — a helpful guide for moms preparing for the holidays.
Beyond physical stores, the Anko Club community now has over 34,000 active members enjoying perks, early access to new collections, and daily design inspiration through the Anko app. The Ko-Creator Program also continues to uplift Filipino creators who share their passion for homemaking, crafting, and thoughtful storytelling.
An Even Brighter Year Ahead
As Anko enters its second year, the brand is committed to expanding its presence, building more family-focused experiences, and offering more beautifully designed, affordable pieces for Filipino homes. More store openings, workshops, and heartwarming campaigns lie ahead — all anchored on bringing inspiration, comfort, and happiness to every Filipino family.
