Bead Haven: Villalobos Street Quiapo

Villalobos Street in front of Quiapo Church main door

Quiapo is a special place for bead enthusiasts and accessory sellers. Confined within its narrow streets are treasures for people like me who takes bead craft seriously either as a hobby or as a business.

Strolling around this busy district of Manila, which is popularly known as the home of the Black Nazarene, a side trip on the said bead stores bring delight to every fashionista ladies.

Since I discovered the joy of bead crafting and the immense pleasure of creating my own accessories, this place became a haven and source of all my supplies.

Villalobos street in front Quiapo Church main door is the first stop when you are looking for supply shops for this craft. There are several shops here catering almost all kinds of beads and ready to wear accessories for sellers.
As of the past years, stores here keep changing names or owner's perhaps but this is the place to go when you need retail or bulk orders for your hobby or accessory business.

Visit all shops from the start to the end of this street and compare prices, quality of items and quantity per package to get the best price. 

Warning: Go here and you might feel you found a treasure chest !! LOL ^_^  . 

If you're a serious beader or an accessory seller this is the place to be. May I suggest to bring extra cash coz you might get excited with huge choices of items here and end up buying more than what you really need out of sheer delight (which usually happens to me when I'm here ^_^ )
