After two to three years of collecting designer bags, Rei Germar's finally ready to reveal the pieces that she's decided to keep *forever* and tbh, no one's more excited than us!
Every time someone asks her for what she thinks is a good *first* luxury bag, for Rei, it's gotta be the Balenciaga City Mini because it's "not too loud" and it's functional.
This Gucci Marmont bag is pretty memorable because it's the first one she really saved up for. "Hindi ko alam kung mare-recommend ko pa siya because it's ubiquitous...everyone has it but it's also a classic."
Rei has three bags from Dior: "Sobrang ganda ng pieces niya but...when I think of Dior, she's very ladylike. Parang 'di ako 'yon. Parang I'm leaning towards sa mas chill lang." She has the Dior Book Tote, which she says is perfect for everyday use: "Yung buong buhay ko kasya dito."
But there's also *one* bag that Rei regrets buying, and it's the Dior Saddle, because it's really tiny and wala masyadong kasya, haha!
If you're looking for a Dior bag to invest in, however, you gotta go with the classic Lady Dior.
Next up: The Hermes Evelyne handbags. Rei gushes, "Kaya ko 'to binili kasi sobrang cute niya." As a brand, the content creator explains that Hermes is more "mature" for her taste but that she liked these specific pieces because they're so light. "Literally, parang wala akong hawak."
"This bag will always remind me that you get what you work for talaga" is how Rei describes the Birkin—an investment piece.
Another sentimental bag in her collection is the Louis Vuitton Palm Springs backpack; Rei's mom bought it for her as a college graduation present.
You probably recognize this next one because so many content creators have it: the Prada Pochette.
Rei, of course, has several Chanel bags in her collection (it's her favorite brand, after all). The first Chanel bag she ever got was the Wallet on Chain. According to the YouTuber, Chanel is known for increasing the prices of their bags and when Rei bought this specific one, it was priced at P90,000. Now, it goes for P120,000!
An item she got because of Ko Mun Yeong from It's Okay To Not Be Okay is the Chanel Kiss-Lock Bag. "The only thing I hate about this bag is since mabigat yung hardware niya, bumabagsak siya."
