Julia Barretto Shares Sweet Family Tradition: A New Bag for Mom Marjorie Every Time She Reaches a Milestone
Actress Julia Barretto has revealed a heartwarming tradition she shares with her mother, Marjorie Barretto. Whenever something good happens in her life or career, she makes sure her mom receives a new bag to celebrate it.
Julia opened up about the practice during the launch of Filipino premium bag brand Charlé in Makati City on Sunday, November 8, where she was introduced as the brand’s first official ambassador, as reported by ABS-CBN News. “Parang naging tradition na namin ni Mommy na kapag may mangyayari sa life ko, there is a bag for her,” she said, adding that her mother really uses the bags they give her.
The actress also shared that bags rarely stay with just one person in their household. Since the family has many girls, Julia said she and her sisters often pass their bags around and share them with one another. “I’m actually really excited to share this with all of my sisters because this is their style. They like timeless, classic pieces,” she told INQUIRER.net.
When it comes to her own fashion, Julia described herself as someone who prefers a simple look. “I really like that it’s not loud. The product speaks for itself. I’m super simple. I love the minimalist look,” she said.
Her new endorsement comes on the heels of another big moment in her career. Her film “Always Yours, Never Mine” earned more than P100 million at the box office, giving her and her mom another reason to celebrate.
Based on a report by Starmometer, the partnership was formalized through a ceremonial contract signing with Charlé co-founders Dr. Mary C. Cruz, Anna Magkawas and Jay-Ann Claire Bincal at the brand’s pop-up launch at Glorietta 1. Julia also styled several pieces from the collection during the event.
This is not the first time Julia has made headlines for spoiling her mother. She has spoken openly in past interviews about wanting to give back to Marjorie for all the sacrifices she made in raising her and her siblings.
For Julia, the bags may look like simple gifts, but each one carries a memory of a moment she wanted to share with the woman who helped her get there.
