Filipina teen who went viral on social media after receiving bashing from netizens for calling Charles & Keith a “luxury brand” now a brand ambassador.

Singapore-based teen Zoe Gabriel was mocked by netizens on TikTok last January after posting a video calling her Charles & Keith bag gifted by her father a “luxury bag.”

Gabriel, 17, is among the newest models of the brand.

“The launch of this special iteration of the Alia bag is in support of UN Women’s ‘Storytelling for Gender Equality’ programme,” Charles & Keith wrote on Twitter.

“[This] international women’s day, let us celebrate with compassion. [Let] us celebrate with equality through equity, the way flowers do,” Gabriel wrote on Instagram.

Gabriel was earlier invited by Charles & Keith to tour its headquarters and have lunch with its founders. – cf
