4 March 2025, Philippines – Anko, Australia’s beloved home and lifestyle brand, has officially appointed Filipino-Australian celebrity Anne Curtis-Smith as its first-ever brand ambassador in the Philippines.
“Anne is the perfect fit for Anko—she’s a mom, actress, and entrepreneur who seamlessly balances family and career while creating a stylish yet functional home. Just like Anko, she believes that great design should be both beautiful and accessible to all,” said Rachel Turner, Country Manager of Anko.
Anne expressed her excitement in a video, saying, “It makes my heart so happy to be part of a brand that brings my favorite Australian products to the Philippines. Anko was a big part of my childhood, and seeing it here brings a wave of nostalgia with its toys, arts and crafts, and beloved home products that suit any living space or family occasion.”
This announcement also marks the debut of Anko’s Home Living collection, unveiled at a condo takeover event in Alveo Land’s Mergent Residences model unit at Greenbelt 3 Makati. The collection is designed with “functional elegance” in mind, reflecting the growing trend of practical yet stylish interiors. It embodies the brand’s mantra: “Bagay sa ‘yo, bagay sa bahay mo, at bagay sa buhay mo” (Anko matches you, your home, and your lifestyle).
“We take pride in offering a range that combines global trends with timeless pieces that stand the test of time. From marbled dining pieces to playful stripes, every piece is designed to be effortlessly livable. Our breathable Australian cotton bedding offers mix-and-match colorways for a personalized retreat,” said Nicholas Holmes, Anko Homewares Buyer.
The collection also features versatile storage solutions like modular linen-look organizers to keep essentials tidy and decluttered.
Anko’s third store is set to open in Quezon City later this year, expanding its reach to more Filipino homes. For more updates, follow @anko_philippines on Instagram.
