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.&quot;</p><p>Zoe went viral online earlier this year after she posted a clip showing her first Charles &amp; Keith bag which was given by her dad. Zoe called it as her &quot;first luxury bag&quot; which was then being criticized and ridiculed by some netizens.</p><blockquote cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@zohtaco/video/7186058662228626689" class="tiktok-embed" data-video-id="7186058662228626689" id="v315523320595634" style="max-width:605px;min-width:325px"><iframe name="__tt_embed__v315523320595634" sandbox="allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-scripts allow-top-navigation allow-same-origin" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7186058662228626689?lang=en-US&amp;referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com%2F%23%2Fworkspace%2Fmonitoring%3Fitem%3Durn%3Anewsml%3Aent-workbench-api.abs-cbn.com%3A2023-01-14T02%3A21%3A07.133810%3A056abee8-39d9-40d1-9c87-eefb7ae87452%26action%3Dedit" style="width:100%;height:721px;display:block;visibility:unset;max-height:721px"></iframe></blockquote><script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script><p>Zoe then uploaded a follow-up video explaining why the said bag was a luxury for her considering that they were previously struggling financially.</p><p>&quot;Money is the topic that makes me most uncomfortable to talk and that is because growing up I didn&#x27;t have a lot. My family didn&#x27;t have a lot,&quot; she explained.</p><p>She continued, &quot;We couldn&#x27;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.&quot;</p><p>Zoe then called out those who mocked her excitement over her bag purchase saying, &quot;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.&quot;</p><p>The Pinay teen then expressed her gratitude to her father who bought the bag for her.</p><p>&quot;I&#x27;m so grateful that my dad was able to get me one. He worked so hard for that money. I can&#x27;t believe that I got hate over a bag that I was so excited to have,&quot; she stated.</p><blockquote cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@zohtaco/video/7186230623084776706" class="tiktok-embed" data-video-id="7186230623084776706" id="v37665733118570460" style="max-width:605px;min-width:325px"><iframe name="__tt_embed__v37665733118570460" sandbox="allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-scripts allow-top-navigation allow-same-origin" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7186230623084776706?lang=en-US&amp;referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com%2F%23%2Fworkspace%2Fmonitoring%3Fitem%3Durn%3Anewsml%3Aent-workbench-api.abs-cbn.com%3A2023-01-14T02%3A21%3A07.133810%3A056abee8-39d9-40d1-9c87-eefb7ae87452%26action%3Dedit" style="width:100%;height:739px;display:block;visibility:unset;max-height:739px"></iframe></blockquote><script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script><p>Following the video, numerous TikTok users expressed their support for Zoe. They also expressed their admiration for the Pinay teen for her humility.</p><p>&quot;Anything is luxury as long as you consider is above value. Do not bother about the haters and appreciate your dad for it,&quot; one netizen commented.</p><p>&quot;Firstly, you’re beautiful! You speak so well &amp; most importantly, you will always appreciate things in life. You’re humble &amp; that’s gonna bring you far!&quot; another netizen wrote.</p><p>Charles &amp; Keith is Singaporean fashion brand founded in 1996.
