REGINE Velasquez made headlines last week after she revealed in her YouTube vlog that she experienced a form of “discrimination” at a Louis Vuitton (LV) store in New York.
The Asia’s Songbird, who is known for her love for designer shoes, recalled the incident and said that she went to the store to look for a pair of shoes she so badly wants to buy. She said encountered one of Louis Vuitton’s sales reps outside the store and asked to try on the pair she was eyeing.
“And when I got there, nakita ko na!” Regine said. “Nandoon sa display! Sa umpisa pa lang, sinabi sa akin, wala akong size. Sinabi ko, ‘Can I at least try them on?’”
Regine then said she wasn’t even allowed to try on the shoes! “Na-discriminate ako, ang lola niyo,” she said. “So na-depress ako nang very, very slight.”
In a segment on a recent episode of “Tonight With Boy Abunda”, it was reported that Louis Vuitton actually sent Regine flowers after the issue blew up. The report said, “Ayon sa management ni Regine, nagpadala ng mga bulaklak ang Luis Vuitton sa Songbird in response to her revelation about her shopping experience at an LV store in New York.”
No further details were revealed about LV’s gesture. (Comso)
