Pinay teen Zoe Gabriel, who recently went viral on TikTok because of her "luxury bag" clip, was invited by global brand Charles & Keith to tour their headquarters in Singapore.

"We had such an amazing opportunity to visit @charleskeithofficial's headquarters, and learn more about the behind-the-scenes! It was so fun, everybody was so nice and accommodating," she posted on her Instagram page.

Zoe also shared that she got the opportunity to meet the founder of the brand.

"We had the chance to sit down with Keith and get to know their company a little better. Thank you to everybody who has shown their support!!! :) Without you, we would never be here," she said.

The Pinay teen donned Charles & Keith attire during her tour at the headquarters.

"Shoes are the Charles & Keith Lucile Satin Platform Sandals, in black, with special thanks to miss Lyn Ng ✨ (look out for an unboxing, haha)," she shared.

The brand then commented on her Instagram post saying, "Thanks for visiting! We were happy to have you and your dad at our HQ office - hope you enjoyed the lunch and had a meaningful experience with us."

Zoe went viral online earlier this year after she posted a clip showing her first Charles & Keith bag which was given by her dad. Zoe called it as her "first luxury bag" which was then being criticized and ridiculed by some netizens.

Zoe then uploaded a follow-up video explaining why the said bag was a luxury for her considering that they were previously struggling financially.

"Money is the topic that makes me most uncomfortable to talk and that is because growing up I didn't have a lot. My family didn't have a lot," she explained.

She continued, "We couldn't buy new things as simple as bread from Bread Talk... That kind of thing was such a luxury to us when we first moved to Singapore. Every time we pass by a store, my parents would just say next time but next time would never come."

Zoe then called out those who mocked her excitement over her bag purchase saying, "Your comment spoke volumes on how ignorant you seem because of your wealth. To you an $80 bag may not be a luxury but for me and my family it is a lot."

The Pinay teen then expressed her gratitude to her father who bought the bag for her.

"I'm so grateful that my dad was able to get me one. He worked so hard for that money. I can't believe that I got hate over a bag that I was so excited to have," she stated.

Following the video, numerous TikTok users expressed their support for Zoe. They also expressed their admiration for the Pinay teen for her humility.

"Anything is luxury as long as you consider is above value. Do not bother about the haters and appreciate your dad for it," one netizen commented.

"Firstly, you’re beautiful! You speak so well & most importantly, you will always appreciate things in life. You’re humble & that’s gonna bring you far!" another netizen wrote.

Charles & Keith is Singaporean fashion brand founded in 1996. The label specializes in footwear, handbags, and fashion accessories. It is headquartered in Singapore and is currently operating in more than 600 stores worldwide in 37 countries.
