The first and only Balmain glasshouse in the world is at Greenbelt 5, offering a unique experience that showcases the latest collections in a serene, glass-walled space
Move over, botanical gardens; there’s a new glasshouse in town, and it’s far more fashionable. Welcome the first-ever Balmain Glasshouse, an inviting catch found in Greenbelt 5’s Fashion Walk in Makati. And let’s just say, if Balmain were to design a greenhouse, it would look exactly like this—minus the plants, but with plenty of runway-ready threads to cultivate your style.

Imagine a European conservatory had a love child with a Parisian atelier, and voilà, you have Balmain’s latest retail space—a sun-drenched, glass-walled boutique that’s as unapologetically French as a croissant on a Seine-side café table. But instead of fresh blooms, you’ll find the freshest of the Parisian House‘s collections, from classics to contemporary.
Step inside, and you’ll be bathed in light, with floor-to-ceiling glass walls ensuring that the latest Balmain pieces get the attention they deserve—because honestly, who wouldn’t want to shop in what feels like a chic solarium? The 70-square-meter space might be cozy, but the plush cream velvet curtains, white wool carpeting, and marble counters create an illusion of grandeur that would make even the most spacious Paris apartments jealous.
And in true Balmain style, no detail is too small to escape their attention. From the broad strokes like the Marquina marble counter to the tiniest metallic finishes, everything here screams Parisian glamour. It’s like the City of Lights packed up its spirit, threw it in a smart carry-on, and moved to Manila.
If you’ve ever dreamed of shopping in a space that feels like a fashion-forward greenhouse—where the only things growing are your wardrobe options—Balmain’s Glasshouse is your new go-to. It’s elegant, it’s modern, and it’s just the kind of place where the Balmain Army can feel right at home. Green thumb optional, but a taste for high fashion? Absolutely required.
