Just like any fashion girl, Andrea Brillantes isn't immune to the charm of designer pieces. "Of course, bilang babae, nangangarap akong magkaron ng mga designer things," the Gen Z actress shares in this episode of Designer Favorites.
And while she could definitely afford it, Blythe has always been frugal, choosing to prioritize household needs versus personal wants. "Mas madami akong kailangan unahing bilhin," she says, listing down essentials such as food and a roof over their heads.
Today, with a continuous stream of projects, a new business, and a fully-constructed family home, Blythe finally finds herself in a place where she can occasionally treat herself to luxury items—even her dream bag. Press play to discover the exact designer pieces that have brought joy to Blythe, with no regrets or second thoughts.
