Bench Fashion and Personal Care

Bench is a prominent lifestyle and fashion brand that originated in the Philippines. Founded in 1987 by Ben Chan, it started as a small store selling men's T-shirts before expanding into a comprehensive fashion empire. The brand is well-known for its wide range of products, including apparel, accessories, fragrances, and personal care items.

The manufacturing of Bench products is primarily centered in the Philippines to support local industry; however, due to the scale of its operations and global reach, some specialized items and clothing lines are produced in other manufacturing hubs across Asia. This strategic distribution allows the brand to maintain quality while meeting international demand.

Owned by Suyen Corporation, Bench has successfully transitioned from a local retailer to a global brand with stores in various international markets. The ultimate owner, Suyen Corporation, remains headquartered in the Philippines, maintaining the brand's cultural identity while aggressively pursuing global expansion through celebrity endorsements and fashion shows.
