Bench – Marquee Mall

BENCH/ is the Philippines’ largest homegrown Lifestyle and Fashion Apparel branch that offers premium quality products at affordable prices for everybody, for every day.

Bench (stylized as bench/ or BENCH/) is a Philippine retail brand of clothing, bags, accessories, footwear and fragrances owned by Suyen Corporation.

Bench was established in 1987 by Ben Chan. Its first outlet was a small store selling men’s T-shirts in an outlet of the SM Department Store (now SM Store). In 1991, Bench released its first television commercial featuring Filipino actor Richard Gomez as its endorser which set a standard on how the brand is promoted by its celebrity endorsers.

The company has since grown to include a ladies’ line, underwear, fragrances, housewares, snacks and other lifestyle products. Bench has expanded to overseas territories, including the United States, Middle East, China, Myanmar, and Singapore.

In 2017, the first Bench Design Awards, a fashion design competition for young designers, was held.

The first Bench Cafe, named after the clothing line, opened in January 2018.
