To mark the recent Mother's Day, KC Concepcion shared a vlog highlighting the top 10 gifts that her mom, megastar Sharon Cuneta, has given her over the years. Her list was a mix of sentimental keepsakes, memorabilia, and luxury items–each of which tells a unique story of Sharon's love for her eldest daughter.
At the end of the video, the 39-year-old singer-actress shared a heartfelt reflection on all the presents she's received from her mom. "Konting-konting part lang 'to sa mga nabigay ng mommy ko sa akin na material gifts. But the most important gift of all is my life, and also her love for me, and all of the lessons she's taught me growing up," she expressed.

1. Louis Vuitton Alma PM in Figue Epi Leather
Sharon specifically sourced this distinct purple Louis Vuitton Alma handbag for KC, knowing it was her favorite color as a kid. "And supposedly this is hard to find, so I know na nag-hire pa siya ng personal shopper to get this for me," KC muses.

2. Dolce & Gabbana Black Leather Continental Wallet
KC attributes her financial blessings to this Dolce & Gabbana wallet, which her mom gifted her. "Nagkaroon ako ng maraming investments, [and] thank you to mom kasi siya talaga nagturo sa akin mag-invest," she shared.
The black continental wallet features a "Time for Love" inscribed in pink, with a red heart-shaped balloon at the tail end. "Nagpaparinig 'yung mom ko nung binigay niya sa akin 'to. [Dapat] time for love, hindi puro work, work, work..." she humorously reflected on the piece.

3. Louis Vuitton Vintage Trunk
Louis Vuitton trunks are enduring symbols of the brand's heritage. The French luxury house has crafted these travel essentials since the mid-18th century, tracing back to the early days of travel.
In her vlog, KC recounted how her mom purchased a vintage trunk from Paris as a housewarming present when she moved into her first condo. Remarkably, the original owners’ initials "L.E." of the trunk's original owner are still boldly displayed on its side. KC finds inspiration in this 1800s trunk, especially as her mom instilled in her a passion for exploring the world during her upbringing.
Collector's items like these vintage trunks are rare finds, hence no exact price points can be singled out for pieces such as this. But as a point of reference, vintage Louis Vuitton trunks that date back to the early 20th century can go for around P1.6 million, if sourced from legitimate art collectors.
