The pair bought their new arm candies from Purse Maison, “an online consignment shop for 100% Authentic (original/legit) luxury goods” founded by Jay-Ann. The store is no stranger to serving celebrities and have helped a number of them find their dream bags, including Kitchie Nadal, Barbie Imperial, and Mond Gutierrez.
They're latest customers were Mika and Bianca, who shared that they agreed to shop together back when they were still in the PBB house. “Natutupad yung mga pangarap namin kasi sabi namin sabay kami magsho-shopping, bibili kami matchy na bag,” said Mika.
At the start of the video, Mika had already purchased a beige Chanel 25—with a P420,000 price tag—when Bianca expressed that she wanted one of her own too. “Mik, teka parang nabubudol ako, parang I want also,” she said. Mika was all for it, of course, and further convinced her friend that they both deserved the splurge after all they’ve been through.
Bianca ended up with a black version of the Chanel 25 in the size small, which she plans to use as her staple work bag. Mika suggested that they borrow each other's bags on occasion since they got them in different colors.
