Lazada Philippines and Gabbi Garcia Launch ‘Sandy & Shine’ Accessories Brand

Lazada Philippines recently unveiled a new jewelry and accessories line in partnership with actress and style icon Gabbi Garcia.

“I always dreamed of venturing into entrepreneurship, and Lazada not only remembered my aspirations but also offered unwavering support,” Garcia said. For her Sandy & Shine official flagship store on Lazada Philippines, the talented actress was involved in everything from hand-selecting each piece to choosing the packaging.

For Garcia, this partnership with Lazada is not just a business venture but also a chance for her to embrace the many different aspects of herself – from her fun-loving nature to her hard work ethic – while also celebrating her love for fashion.

While entrepreneurship may seem daunting to some, Garcia shared that anything is possible with passion and the right partners. “When you meet people who give you the right support, don’t be afraid and just go for it. Especially if it’s something that you’re passionate about and makes your heart flutter” she said.

Since its founding, Lazada has been guided by a mission to make the entrepreneurial journey easy and accessible to everyone. “We’re very excited to take this next step with Gabbi, who has partnered with Lazada throughout the years on livestreams and LazBeauty,” said Carlos Barrera, CEO of Lazada Philippines. “By investing in our sellers, we get to grow a vibrant marketplace where buyers can access a wide assortment of quality products and get the best possible online shopping experience.”

This is not the first time the eCommerce platform has helped empower local entrepreneurs across Southeast Asia. Last December, it unveiled the PiliPino by Lazada program to help micro, small and medium-sized enterprises in the Philippines gain growth opportunities for their online business. Lazada Indonesia is also a four-time collaborator of Jakarta Fashion Week, the biggest annual fashion show in Indonesia, and has invited local brands, sellers and designers to create and showcase their unique designs at special shows during the event.
