Vicki Belo revealed that she lost a rare, limited edition Hermès bag from the much-coveted So Black collection.

In her first-ever closet tour for her vlog, celebrity doctor and Belo Medical Group founder Vicki Belo gave her subscribers a glimpse into her huge collection of luxury bags.

"Hi everybody! Due to insistent public demand, I will now show you my mahiwagang closet. You guys are so interested. I never wanted to show it before kasi baka ma disappoint kayo," Vicki says at the beginning of her video.

Joining her in the vlog is designer and stylist Bang Pineda who is in the process of organizing Vicki's closet.

"Bang Pineda is in the process now of editing my closet kasi I can't see my clothes kasi dikit dikit," she explains.

Bang shared how he color-coordinated Vicki's wardrobe by piece. He also put a few pieces in storage.

"'Yung iba kasi tinago muna natin. Hindi muna magagamit but eventually, after a few months, maybe ilalabas natin ulit," he explained.

In the middle of Vicki's walk-in closet is an island that holds many of her colorful Hermès bags.

She showed a few choice pieces, including those that were designed and gifted to her by husband Hayden Kho and her first ostrich leather bag.

"I don't really like exotics. Kasi for one exotic bag, you can buy five of the normal bags. Konti lang po ang aking mga exotic," she shared.

"I've been collecting Hermès for the last 20 years, so matagal na rin po," she added.

Asked for her favorite Hermès bag, she revealed that it was a rare, limited edition piece which she unfortunately lost.

"Actually 'yung pinaka favorite ko nawala, ninakaw. I don't know who got it but it was black on black. It was a very special edition and it didn't even have an orange box. It had a black box, it was matte," she described.

Vicki is talking about the much-coveted So Black collection which was created by then creative director Jean Paul Gaultier in 2010 before he left Hermès.

Hermès So Black Birkins displayed in a shop in Ginza.

The fashion house stopped producing pieces from the collection due to the hardware chipping. Because of this, there are only a few pieces, making them very desirable in the market.

"It is a one of a kind collector's edition but when I opened the box a few months ago, that black bag was gone. 'Yung box nandoon pero sa loob ng box was a white Hermès which wasn't the right bag. Yeah, I cried," Vicki continued her story.

Now, Vicki says that she is more practical and prefers to use a functional bag.

"Pero in truth, this is my favorite Hermès bag. It's the Lindy," she says as she shows another set of bags in different colors.

The Hermès Lindy is named after the Lindy Hop, a famous street dance from the 1920s. It is made of soft leather and has an atypical shape.

"It's easy to bring and it's not as heavy as the Birkins and the Kellys. I like to look at the Birkin and Kelly but when I wear it, it's this that I wear," Vicki says of the bag.
