Behind the contemporary and minimalistic style of the Corso Como 88 One Ayala store is Cecil Ravelas, an alumna of Instituto Marangoni. The spacious boutique has multi-tiered wooden shelves, a vibrant bar area with a towering orange wall adorned with bag silhouettes, and a dressing room built from silver pipes.
