This is Sharon Cuneta's favorite bag at the moment


MANILA – No, it’s not Hermes.

“The Voice of the Philippines” coach Sharon Cuneta showed her favorite designer bag at the moment as part of her efforts to regularly reach out to her fans.

Saying she could not think of anything more to share on social media, Cuneta posted a photo of a purple crocodile bag from Louis Vuitton that she uses “more than any of my Hermes.”

“When I saw it in Milan, Italy a few years ago, my heart melted and I couldn’t leave the store,” she recalled.

“It’s not as heavy as a Birkin,” she added, referring to the classic Hermes handbag that is popular among celebrities today. “Just the right weight, empty or full.”

Cuneta did not mention the exact price of her favorite bag, but she did suggest that it is quite expensive.

“Cost me a concert and a half’s talent fees plus three of my toes and one whole leg! Pamana na ang mga ganito,” she wrote.

But the “Megastar” was careful not to offend anyone with her post, saying: “Let me know if you like me posting stuff like this. I don’t want to be misinterpreted as making yabang kasi. This is just my life, guys – I think it’s no secret naman. Born this way eh.”

“Just let me know, okay? ‘Cause I might be feeling a bit uncomfortable and I won’t do it if people take it the wrong way. I do love my stuff. That’s all,” she ended.

Why this handbag broke auction records


A fuchsia-colored crocodile-skin Hermes bag has broken the record for the most expensive handbag sold at auction, selling for US$222,912 at a Christie's auction in Hong Kong.

The shiny pink bag was sold to an Asian phone bidder in an auction that saw "fast-paced bidding from start to finish", Christie's said in a statement late Monday.

The final price realized at the Monday auction was around 15 percent more than the auction house's estimate.

"With its 18k white gold and diamond hardware, Hermès Shiny Fuchsia Porosus Crocodile Diamond Birkin 35 dazzled the crowds, achieving a HK$1.72 million record," Christie's said in the statement.

The bag, part of the "Birkin" series named after actress and singer Jane Birkin, who was born in Britain and is based in France, features a gold and diamond-encrusted clasp and padlock and is 35 centimeters in width and 25 centimeters in height.

At the same auction that saw some 300 designer handbags going under the hammer, a shiny black crocodile "Kelly" bag was sold for US$145,000, breaking the record for the most expensive "Kelly" bag sold at auction.

The "Kelly" product line is named after the late Princess Grace of Monaco.

The auction house's Handbags and Accessories sale achieved $5.99 million in sales.

Designer handbags are the latest craze for collectors, taking global auction houses by storm and fetching record prices.

The previous record was set at the sale of another Hermes Birkin by an American auction house valued at around $203,000 in 2011.
