A powerful message 👏
Gabriel, who went viral in January for describing the Charles & Keith bag gifted by her father as “luxury”, was tapped by the Singaporean fashion brand to be one of its models to support the United Nations Women's Storytelling for Gender Equity campaign, which falls on International Women's Day on Wednesday, 8 March.
Charles & Keith believes that storytelling is a powerful tool for advocacy and promoting equality, and aims to support women's voices in the Asia-Pacific region through this partnership with UN Women. Gabriel, a Filipina teenager based in Singapore, drew flak on social media after she shared in her TikTok account an S$80 bag she bought for herself and described it as a “luxury” item. However, the reaction of Charles & Keith was different – they were “impressed” by how she handled the situation, as Charles and Keith Wong, one of the founders of the brand, also came from humble beginnings.
