Rica Peralejo admits not liking luxury brand items, reveals carrying a 'fake LV bag' in this photo

Rica Peralejo revealed that she is carrying a fake Louis Vuitton bag in a photo she posted on Instagram last Friday.

Listing down the pieces that completed her laidback outfit and where she got them, Rica pointed out her "fake LV bag." 

Rica wrote a disclaimer saying, "hindi ako mahilig sa branded. Binenta ko na actually yung mga branded bags ko kasi sa totoo lang, hindi ko naman magamit."

According to Rica, the bag was gift "and when I used it, BONGGA IT DID THE JOB."

Rica joked and said she loves "the tote-ness of it. It’s so... tote-ful? It is like a bayong na bagay sa all at kasya all."

Rica later updated her post, explaining she was in a remote area and was immediately greeted by a deluge of notifications telling her "I am in the news for telling the truth." 

The mom vlogger advised her followers to "read well" as she clarified what she said because "some news have added a thing or two to what I said here." 

"The only clear things in this post are: 1) I do not like branded stuff (meaning luxury brands cause I like some brands for some things) 2) And that I would rather put money elsewhere like buying adventure gear 3) It was a gift and I liked the function of the bag kaya I used it," Rica explained.

"Anything else beyond those three points are already their story and not mine," she added. 

"Until you have asked, what you have is drive-by-judgment. So much misinformation, vested interest, and hate these days. Hehe. So read well, friends." — Jannielyn Ann Bigtas/LA, GMA News
