Spain’s ULK Karva Tabi Flats and Siete Wedge Sandals Are Trending — How Can Philippine Shoppers Buy at Official Prices?
Quick Summary
・Ulanka’s official site only ships to Spain, Portugal and a handful of European countries (Italy included) — the Philippines isn’t on that list, and the site is mostly in Spanish. The easiest way in is Buy&Ship’s proxy shopping service, which places the order and receives the parcel for you.
・The two collections getting the most attention right now are the split-toe ULK Karva Tabi leather flats and the ’90s-inspired Siete wedge sandals.
・If you’re already comfortable shopping overseas yourself, you can also check out directly and forward the parcel through Buy&Ship’s Italy warehouse — forwarding starts at ₱620 for the first pound.
・Ulanka charges a flat €9.95 to ship from Spain to Italy with no free-shipping threshold, so ordering a few pairs in one go is the more economical move.
Ulanka is a women’s footwear label that has grown quickly in Spain, built around leather everyday shoes with clean lines and mass-market pricing that still carries a design point of view — the kind of brand fashion accounts across Spain and Europe keep circling back to.
The two collections drawing the most attention lately are the ULK Karva flats, built around a Japanese-inspired split-toe (tabi) silhouette, and the Siete wedge sandals, which lean into a minimal ’90s line. Both come in leather or leather-look finishes with a wide colour range, and both have held steady spots on the brand’s own “Best Sellers” chart.
Ulanka’s official site doesn’t ship to the Philippines. Its shipping policy lists only mainland Spain and its islands, Portugal, and ten other European countries — Germany, France, the Netherlands, Italy and others — with the Philippines, mainland China, Taiwan and the rest of Asia all absent from that list, so there’s no way to select a Philippine address at checkout at all. On top of that, most of the site’s interface is in Spanish, with no full English version for some pages. For most shoppers, the simplest route is Buy&Ship’s proxy shopping service: send us the product link, size and colour you want, and we place the order and receive the parcel on the official site for you, with no foreign-language checkout to deal with. If you’re already used to shopping overseas yourself, you can instead set your delivery address to Buy&Ship’s Italy warehouse, check out on the official site directly, and have Buy&Ship forward the parcel to the Philippines.

How to Buy Ulanka from the Philippines: Proxy Shopping and Italy Warehouse Forwarding
Ulanka’s own shipping policy lists its full delivery range: mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands (free over €45), the Canary Islands, Portugal, and ten other European countries — Germany, Austria, Belgium, Estonia, France, the Netherlands, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg and Poland — all at a flat €9.95.
The Philippines isn’t on that list, and the checkout won’t offer a Philippine address as an option at all. On top of that, most of the site’s interface is in Spanish, with some pages lacking a full English version. For most readers, the simplest route is Buy&Ship’s proxy shopping service: send us the product link, size and colour, and we place the order and receive the parcel on the official site for you, with no foreign-language checkout involved.
If you’re already comfortable shopping overseas yourself, you can instead set your delivery address to Buy&Ship’s Italy warehouse and check out directly on the official site — no Italian credit card or local phone number needed, an ordinary international card or PayPal works fine. Once the parcel reaches the Italy warehouse, Buy&Ship forwards it on to the Philippines. Either route gets you the item at the official price — see the comparison and step-by-step guide further down.
Why ULK Karva and Siete Are Trending
The defining feature of the ULK Karva line is its Japanese-style “tabi” split-toe cut — the toe box is divided into a big-toe section and a section for the remaining four toes, a silhouette borrowed from traditional Japanese footwear and reinterpreted by several European labels in recent years into a flat that reads simple with a bit of edge. The whole Karva line is made from genuine leather with a cushioned leather insole, and currently comes in at least seven colourways — black, bottle green, brown, beige, grey, navy and orange — enough range to match most everyday outfits.
Siete wedge sandals take a different approach — a medium-width thong strap on a clean wedge heel, with an unmistakably ’90s-minimal line. Made from synthetic leather and produced in Spain, the line also comes in several colourways including brown, black, gold, silver and red, working equally well as an everyday shoe or for light evening wear.
5 Best-Selling Picks
The 5 picks below are all from the ULK Karva and Siete lines on Ulanka’s own “Best Sellers” chart. Official prices are as seen on 4 September 2026 — check the live stock and size availability on the official site before ordering.
1. ULK Karva Black Leather Tabi Flats
The top seller on the Best Sellers chart — a black that goes with everything, from office to date-night looks. Genuine leather with a cushioned leather insole and rubber sole, balancing looks with everyday comfort.
Official price €69.95 (approx. ₱5,078)
2. ULK Karva Bottle Green Leather Tabi Flats
Sitting at No. 3 on the Best Sellers chart, this deep bottle-green colourway is worth a look if you want to move past black and brown basics. Same genuine-leather construction and silhouette as the black version.
Official price €69.95 (approx. ₱5,078)
3. ULK Karva Brown Leather Tabi Flats (New Season)
Part of the brand’s newest season drop (Drop 1 SS26), this warm brown tone is an easy match for autumn/winter outfits. Beige, grey, navy and orange colourways are also available in the same line if you’d rather explore other options.
Official price €69.95 (approx. ₱5,078)
4. Siete Brown Wedge Sandals
A thong design with a medium-width strap in a warm brown tone that’s easy to work into everyday outfits. Made in Spain from synthetic leather. Also available in black, gold, silver and red.
Official price €49.95 (approx. ₱3,626)
5. Siete Black Wedge Sandals
The most versatile colourway in the line, with a clean wedge heel that works for both office and evening wear — often the first colour readers pick when trying this line for the first time.
Official price €49.95 (approx. ₱3,626)
Note: prices above are as seen on Ulanka’s own official site on 4 September 2026 and are subject to change — always check the official site. PHP figures use an approximate conversion of €1 ≈ ₱72.6, for reference only, and don’t include Ulanka’s Spain-to-Italy shipping fee or Buy&Ship’s forwarding fee.
What a Pair Actually Costs Landed
Landed cost has three parts: the item price, the fee Ulanka charges to ship from Spain to its Italy warehouse, and Buy&Ship’s forwarding fee from Italy to the Philippines. Using a €69.95 ULK Karva pair as an example:
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Item price | €69.95 (approx. ₱5,078) |
| Ulanka shipping fee (Spain to Italy, flat rate) | €9.95 (approx. ₱722) |
| Buy&Ship forwarding fee (based on 1 lb) | approx. ₱1,000 |
| Total | approx. ₱6,800 |
Buy&Ship’s Italy-warehouse forwarding starts at ₱620 for the first pound and ₱380 for each additional pound. A second delivery option is also available at checkout with a different per-pound rate — check the pricing page for the full comparison and the current numbers.
Ordering more than one pair at a time is the more economical move. Ulanka’s Spain-to-Italy shipping fee is a flat charge per order — whether you order one pair or several, it’s still just €9.95 once. Forwarding is priced per pound after the first pound too, so combining several pairs into one shipment brings the per-pair forwarding cost down noticeably.
Proxy Shopping vs Self-Checkout + Forwarding: Which Fits You?
There are two ways to get an Ulanka pair home: Buy&Ship proxy shopping, or self-checkout plus Buy&Ship forwarding. For most readers, proxy shopping is the more convenient option — no need to deal with a checkout that’s mostly in Spanish. If you’re already used to shopping overseas, self-checkout lets you skip the proxy shopping service fee. The table below lays it out:
| Comparison | Buy&Ship Proxy Shopping | Self-Checkout + Buy&Ship Forwarding |
|---|---|---|
| Authenticity | Bought on the official site on your behalf | You order directly on the official site |
| Foreign-language checkout | Not required | Required (site is mostly in Spanish) |
| Pricing | Item price + service fee | Item price + shipping fees only |
| Best for | Most readers, especially those unfamiliar with overseas shopping or a foreign-language checkout | Readers already comfortable shopping overseas |
Either way, you’re buying the genuine item at the official price with transparent costs. If overseas shopping isn’t something you do often, proxy shopping is the simpler route; if you’re confident navigating a foreign checkout yourself, self-checkout plus forwarding saves you the service fee.
Before You Order
1. Self-checkout shoppers: set your delivery country to Italy
If you’re checking out yourself, remember to set the delivery country to Italy and enter your full Buy&Ship Italy warehouse address — the official checkout requires the delivery region to match your account region, so get your Italy warehouse address from Buy&Ship first, then place the order. Proxy shopping customers can skip this entirely; Buy&Ship handles it for you.
2. Sizing runs in EU sizes
Both the ULK Karva and Siete lines are sized in EU sizes (36 to 42), which don’t necessarily match Philippine size labelling. Check the size chart on the official product page before ordering to avoid a fit surprise.
3. Popular colours and sizes sell out
Colours on the Best Sellers chart regularly go out of stock in specific sizes. If you’ve spotted the colour and size you want, order sooner rather than waiting to bundle several pairs into one order.
4. Check the restrictions page before ordering
Check the Italy warehouse restrictions page to confirm the item category is fine to ship. Proxy shopping customers should also note that one proxy shopping order can only include items from a single website, up to 10 items per order; items from other sites can still be consolidated at the sorting centre once everything arrives at the warehouse.
FAQ
Q1: Does Ulanka really not ship to the Philippines at all?
A: That’s right. Ulanka’s shipping policy lists Spain, Portugal and ten European countries (Italy included) as its only delivery range — the Philippines isn’t on it, and the checkout won’t offer a Philippine address as an option. The easiest way in is Buy&Ship’s proxy shopping service; if you’re already comfortable shopping overseas, you can also set your delivery address to Buy&Ship’s Italy warehouse and check out yourself.
Q2: Most of the site is in Spanish — what if I can’t read it?
A: Ulanka’s official site is mostly in Spanish, and some pages don’t have a full English version. Proxy shopping is the simplest fix — just give us the product link, size and colour you want, and we place the order and receive the parcel on the official site for you, with no need to read or fill in a foreign-language page yourself.
Q3: Do I need an Italian card or phone number to check out myself?
A: No. Although the delivery address is set to Italy, payment can usually be made with an ordinary international card or PayPal, and you can use your own regular phone number — no need to get a local SIM.
Q4: Roughly how much is forwarding for one pair of Ulanka shoes?
A: Forwarding from the Italy warehouse starts at ₱620 for the first pound plus ₱380 per additional pound, based on the actual weighed weight at the warehouse — check the pricing page for the current rate and the second delivery option available there. Note that Ulanka itself also charges a flat €9.95 to ship from Spain to Italy, which is split across however many pairs are in the order.
Q5: Can I order several different colours in one go and have them forwarded together?
A: Yes, and it’s the more economical way to do it. Ulanka only charges its €9.95 Spain-to-Italy shipping fee once per order regardless of how many pairs are in it, and forwarding is priced per pound after the first pound too, so combining pairs into one shipment costs less per pair than shipping them separately.
