Our Story
Suit it Up Manila is the leading luxury bespoke men's formal wear
brand launched in 2013 by the MEGI Group which was established in
1972 by our founder Marilyn B. Ongkingco+ (1954-2015) at the age of
18. The company has more than 46 years of experience in custom made
clothing. Suit it Up Manila provides custom made suits and barongs
for the modern gentleman in Manila.
Today, the company is lead by the father and son tandem of
Bienvenido G. Ongkingco Jr. & Franco B. Ongkingco.
Their purpose, to honor and protect her legacy by
continuing what she started. Since her passing in 2015,
they have made it their mission to constantly reinvent the
company making it relevant with the times we live in.
On May 29, 2018 Suit it Up Manila opened its Flagship
store at the 5th Level Mega Fashion Hall SM Megamall.
The opening date is very symbolic to us as it is also the wedding anniversary of our founders Benny and Lynn. Their deep love for each other and their family are constant reminders that everything begins with love. Today, we are proud to present 3 innovations that are the first of its kind in the fashion industry of the Philippines.
The first, Suit it Up Manila as the first modern purely bespoke haberdashery concept inside a luxury mall such as the Mega Fashion Hall. As you enter the store you will notice two brands headlined in a special display wall which showcases British brands, Holland & Sherry and Dormeuil both of which are the best suiting fabric brands in the world. Suit it Up Manila is the first to partner with Holland & Sherry and Dormeuil to offer their exquisite fabrics in the country as well as to have such a display wall inside our store.
We are also partnered with local complementary luxury brands such as Ibarra Watches and Patrio Philippines for Bespoke and Ready-to-Wear shoes.
Lastly, Suit it Up Manila is proud to introduce to you the first ever 3D body scanner in the Philippines by Size Stream USA. This breakthrough technology uses 20 infrared lasers to take over 250 body measurements in as fast as 14 seconds. This new technology will not only help us take more accurate body measurements and minimise human error but also usher in the future of body measurement taking research and development in the Philippine fashion industry. Suit it Up Manila is also currently the exclusive distributor of Size Stream body scanners in the country. I encourage everyone to try the new scanner to feel the ease and convenience of the future of measurement taking.
