Have you noticed that Gen Zs are into micro bags? You may think these small bags can barely hold anything, but that’s not true, especially if you’re a minimalist, low-maintenance girl like Francine Diaz.The young actress can survive a day of promo shoots by carrying just a tiny bag. But one thing is for sure, it doesn’t cost a lot. “Akala lang nila mamahalin ang bag na ‘to,” she gushed. To be honest, we initially thought it was an expensive item, thanks to its elegant cream color and the dainty ribbon accent.On that day, Francine and her <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/dirtylinen">Dirty Linen</a> co-stars Raven Rigor and Sean Tristan chanced upon cute items for sale and decided to buy three bunny stuffed toys for each of them. They baptized the bunnies with matching names, and Francine attached hers to the bag’s handle.The first essential that she fished out of her bag was a small tube of ointment from a popular brand. She uses it for dry lips and sudden allergic reactions.Next is a facemask. But this one is guaranteed to keep her face ‘maskne’-free.She can’t leave home without the compact mirror she bought in Singapore. “Mahilig ako manalamin. Hindi ko alam kung bakit,” she stressed.Also inside her bag are two ballpens - a cuter one, which she uses more frequently, and a more elegant-looking one which she uses for signing documents.The last item was her wallet “na puro resibo, puro barya.”One benefit of carrying a small bag is that it forces us to meticulously curate only the essential items we want to bring with us every time we go out– that’s what we learned from this bag raid with Francine.
