At Mint, we're all about believing, having confidence & being humble. We think we grew just by following these steps and so can you.
BELIEVE
Believe in yourself and have faith in your abilities. When you make this happen, it will make you happy of what you have achieved.
CONFIDENCE
After you become happy of what you have gained now, you will have self confidence. After accomplishing this task, nobody can harm you not until you let them.
HUMILITY
Too much confidence can result to over-confidence. After having all the knowledge that you have acquired, at some point or another you tend to go overboard but once humility comes in, this neutralizes everything.
After enhancing yourself with our 3 rules in life, you're now ready to express yourselves freely, we call this the 'freedom of expression' and about being whoever you want to be. We believe our awesome staff are a clear representation of that attitude.
Each time you walk into any Mint store, you will see & feel that the party mode is ON. The store is in club mode playing the latest mix of modern music together with our electrifying sales assistant who create the mood. Imagine a club or a bar that is in your walk-in closet, everyone is invited to join you as you show off your latest fashion.
Remember, the world is a massive party and we're helping you decide what to wear!

OUR MISSION STATEMENT
TO THE PEOPLE
To become the ideal trendsetter in fashion by the year 2014. We would want the Filipinos to be in high fashion during this stage wherein it would be hard to distinguish an imported brand from Mint. We will be setting new standards in fashion by introducing clothes that can be worn in public that are usually only seen in fashion shows.
TO THE ENVIRONMENT
SAVE ENERGY
We have started this campaign to fight against global warming. Starting 2011, our newly opened and renovated stores will carry 85% LED lights which is more eco-friendly. It saves the stores air conditioning temperature and the electricity usage.
WE RECYCLE
Recycling all possible items which include hangers, packaging and delivery bags are examples of our waste management practice. Millions of plastics are processed each year into other plastic elements. We do not use plastics for our packaging and we have our denim bag for our deliveries.
ENVIRONMENTALLY AWARE STAFF
Our staff are continuously being reminded to achieve our policy by sending continuous reminders and trainings.
ORGANIC COTTON
We use organic cotton on some of shirts which have specific labels and are easy to spot in our shops. They are free of pesticides, chemicals and bleach.
BIODIESEL FUEL
Our fleet uses bio diesel fuels to transport 500,000 items of clothing a year.
PHILOSOPHY
Mint’s business model is characterized by a high degree of vertical integration. It covers all stages of the fashion development: design, manufacture, logistics and distribution in all our stores. It has a flexible structure and a strong customer focus in all its business areas.
The key to this model is the ability to adapt the offer to customer desires in the shortest time possible. For Mint, time is the main factor to be considered, above and beyond production costs. This signifies the clear-cut policy of valuing time even more than money.
Vertical integration enables them to shorten turnaround times and achieve greater flexibility, reducing stock to a minimum and diminishing fashion risk to the greatest possible extent.
Our team of designers, merchandisers & product development people continuously assesses the customers´ preferences, wishes and demands offering each year comprised some 2,000 different styles for sale in our stores. Our wide range of highly experienced external suppliers who have a solid commercial relationship with the format allow Mint to manufacture a model and to have it for sale in its stores nationwide within the average term of approximately two weeks.
Clothes are dispatched twice a week, and this frequency allows a continual renewal of our fashion offer.
