Sharon Cuneta apparently got ‘turned away’ at Hermes where she intended to buy a belt while visiting Seoul as seen in her new YouTube vlog.
Sharon Cuneta shared her experience during her recent trip to Seoul, South Korea through a vlog which included an incident where she was not allowed to go inside the boutique of the luxury brand Hermes.
The Megastar posted her vlog in her YouTube channel on Friday, September 30, with the caption “Turned away at the Hermes store,” apparently barred by the salesman from entering the store where she initially planned to buy a belt.
“Nagpunta lang ako dito para bumili ng sinturon sa Hermes. Ayaw ako papasukin (I just went here to buy a belt from Hermes. But I wasn’t allowed to go in),” she said in her vlog.
However, instead of sulking, Cuneta then went to a nearby shop which happened to be another luxury brand, Louis Vuitton, where she bought several items and was given “extra” treatment being given champagne and flowers by the staff.
“I got champagne and flowers. Thank you, Louis Vuitton. Thank you,” she added.
In a playful manner, the Megastar managed to get back at the salesman at Hermes by passing right in front of the store, flaunting her newly bought items and he was then seen inviting the actress to enter in which she replied: “No more, I buy everything.”
She then clarified the whole issue after posting on her Instagram regarding the newly uploaded vlog.
“P.S. Don’t feel bad about Hermès not letting me in! Lots, if not all name—brand stores even in the U.S. allow a certain number of people in at a time—sometimes 10 lang, while the others wait in line outside of the store,” she said in the caption.
“Lots also ask you to make an appointment. Covid measures nila yan so okay lang. Sayang lang talaga belt lang naman ang balak ko eh kaya ayoko pumapasok sa ibang stores na di ko plano puntahan ang dami kong nakikita eh!,” Cuneta added.
Aside from the store incident, the singer was also seen trying some Korean food and buying K-pop merchandise with her family.
