I thought that she was very unique and reminded me of people that really celebrated their individuality,&quot; Evangelista said. &quot;I could definitely relate to that because I was like that. More is more, and it was my way of expressing myself.&quot; </p><p>&quot;I remember when I saw Jolina Magdangal, she had all these clips and she would dress up and didn&#x27;t mind if she mixed patterns and whatever.

It took me a really, really long time to get this bag. Aside from I have to save for it, it was just unavailable and it was just so hard to get a Birkin 25 that was a Himalayan,&quot; she said, adding that she considers it an &quot;heirloom&quot; and an &quot;investment.&quot;</p><p>Her other favorite bags are mostly &quot;conversation pieces,&quot; including the Louis Vuitton Capucines Mini, the Guirlande de Cartier Mini Model Top Handle Bag, the Ulyana Sergeenko Rose Bag, her two Judith Lieber personalized clutches, some of her first Hermes handbags, the Bvlgari Serpenti Forever, and the Dior Bobby Bag.</p><p>To those who are just starting to collect bags, Evangelista gave this advice: &quot;It&#x27;s nice to take your time because you don&#x27;t want to be somebody that just buys everything all at the same time. You want each one to have a story.&quot;</p><p>&quot;Stop settling for a bag... [don&#x27;t say] &#x27;I want this beautiful black bag, but it&#x27;s too expensive. I&#x27;ll just get this other bag.&#x27; Actually, you can achieve it, you just have to wait. Even if you give yourself five years, if you just stop buying so many other black bags, you will eventually get your dream bag,&quot; she said.</p><p>&quot;Stop buying dupes, just save for the real one.&quot;</p><div><strong>Related video:</strong></div><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/iIgazNzCWys?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div>
