The mechanics were also included in the post. Fans should buy P1,500 worth of any regular items from participating Bench stores at Glorietta 2, Trinoma, SM Megamall, SM Mall of Asia, and Bonifacio High Street for a chance to meet and greet Sprouse.
A customer will have to draw from a fishbowl after receiving a stamp. If the customer gets a paper with a star, he or she can meet and greet Cole at either SM Megamall or the Glorietta Activity Center.
Fashion pioneer and executive creative director of the clothing brand, Ben Chan, also posted a photo of him and the 25 -year old star on his social media account.
