While designer pieces might seem commonplace on social media, content creator Ashley Garcia will be the first to tell you that splurging on luxury is a well-thought-out investment decision. "Even if my main content was all about fashion, I really wanted to make sure that when the time comes that I could afford a designer [piece], I made it a point that I have the feeling of wanting it more than needing it," she tells Preview. Discover the luxury pieces Ashley has intentionally saved up for in this special episode of Designer Favorites. #PreviewVideos #DesignerFavorites
00:00Hey Preview, it's Ashley Garcia and today I'm going to show to you my top 5 designer items.
00:11So it took a while for me to invest on designer pieces.
00:16Even if my main content was all about fashion,
00:20I really wanted to make sure that when the time comes that I could afford a designer piece,
00:26I made it a point that I have the feeling of wanting it more than needing it.
00:30Wanting it in a way that I deserve it or I genuinely find this piece beautiful or functional not just because it's trendy
00:39and not needing it to fit into this certain type of hold.
00:43So yeah, that's my thought process behind purchasing this collection.
00:47So first on the list is this Chanel bag.
00:52And this has got to be my ultimate, ultimate dream bag.
00:56As in, if you would scroll through my old YouTube videos,
01:01you would see how much I manifested this bag.
01:04And it felt so serene that I got it as a graduation gift for myself.
01:10And I could briefly remember the moment that I got this
01:14because I was in the middle of doing my thesis as it was breaking down that I was lying on.
01:20I was in the middle of giving up already.
01:22I was in the middle of giving up already.
01:24It's like when I got done this video, it's like Chanel bag.
01:28And ta-da! Finally we got it, baby!
01:31And I got it in the video flap and in caviar.
01:34So yeah!
01:36This is my baby!
01:37Okay, so next one is this LV on-the-go tote bag, and I could actually remember the first time I laid my eyes on a designer bag.
01:49I really opened my eyes in the luxury world, was when I saw my tita carry this LV bag with her high heels on, and I was like, someday I'm gonna be that kind of woman.
02:02And true enough, we got an LV bag. This is my first ever designer purchase, and honestly, I didn't expect that it would be a tote bag, but I actually got it because of its functionality, since it could fit a lot of things, and I could use it for different kinds of purposes, like for example, when I go to the airport, it's for traveling, or when I go to shoots, it could fit my laptop, and a whole lot more.
02:29So yeah, this is the LV tote bag.
02:32Next is this YSL bag, and ito naman, I got this on my first out-in-the-country trip alone.
02:42I really like this bag because of its structure, like it's very structured, and even if it's compact, I think it could fit a lot of things.
02:51And I didn't expect that out of all the bags that I'm showing today, ito yung pinakagamit na gamit ko.
02:57So yeah, this is the YSL bag.
02:59Okay, next on the list is this Dior sandals.
03:02And grabe, you will see how much I used this already.
03:06Medyo luma na siya tignan.
03:08I actually just got this last last year, but this is how it looks like already.
03:12I guess it's the proof na I really love these sandals.
03:15I got this during my first out-of-the-country trip with a brand naman in Singapore.
03:22And I remember I was walking around the city, and then my heels broke, and I took it as a sign na bumili na ng sandals.
03:29Something really comfortable, and this is such a happy purchase for me.
03:34And last but not the least is this Dior saddle bag.
03:38This one naman, I got this as a reward since I am a working student, and I got this during my recognition day.
03:46I was really deliberating if deserve ko na ba talaga ng white bag, because I'm quite a clumsy girl.
03:52But then, ayun, I think almost siya ay worth it siya.
03:56Hindi siya ganun ka dumihin.
03:58And what else can I say about this bag?
04:02I love it.
04:04Yun na yun.
04:05So yun, that's about it for this video.
04:07You know what, guys?
04:08The first time PD reached out to me to do this kind of video, it was during the pandemic.
04:13And I was completely honest with them na,
04:16I'm so sorry I wouldn't be able to feature any items as of now, but in the future maybe.
04:22And fast forward to now, I can't believe that I am here.
04:26So I guess it goes to show talaga na hard work does pay off and your time will come as well.
04:32Again, this has been Ashley Garcia on YouTube.
