A glamorous socialite from Singapore famed for her designer bag collection has revealed how she packs for an overseas trip – giving fans a glimpse inside her multi-million dollar wardrobe in the process.
Jamie Chua, 45, regularly jets around the world, soaking up the very best that money can buy in upscale resorts from Paris to Bangkok.
In a recent YouTube video, the age-defying beauty mogul, who owns a skincare line and boasts more than one million Instagram followers, took viewers through her packing routine which includes luxury cosmetic containers and six-figure Hermes handbags.
THE CLOTHING
Packing for a three day, two night trip to Hong Kong, Ms Chua began by selecting the outfits she planned to wear.
‘One time I was so overweight when we were flying from Paris, my boyfriend had to pay $6,520 AUD in charges – can you imagine how much luggage I had!’ she admitted.
Her chosen looks included a rodeo-inspired white blouse, embellished black mini-skirt and black thigh-high stiletto boots.
Ms Chua paired the ensemble with a black, crocodile skin Hermes Kelly Mini-Bag inlaid with gold hardware, so small she only uses it for ‘photo-taking purposes’.
‘This is too small to carry my travel essentials, like my camera, face powder and tissues, so I bring along a bigger bag and put this inside the larger one until I need it,’ she said.
When you find an outfit you love, buy it in every colour!
Ms Chua’s signature travel hold-all is an ultra-rare Hermes Birkin 30 in black crocodile skin, which she takes on almost all overseas trips.
Pre-owned crocodile skin Birkins start from $67,710 AUD from Vestiaire Collective.
Ms Chua also packed a custom-made Dior bustier with a white, ankle-length tulle skirt, which she also owns in black.
‘When you find an outfit you love, buy it in every colour!’ she exclaimed.
Ms Chua debated styling her ivory ensemble with a white, mink-handled Hermes Kelly bag, or her beloved Hermes Himalaya Diamond Birkin 30.
INSIDE THE LAVISH LIFE OF ‘SINGAPORE’S INSTAGRAM QUEEN’ JAMIE CHUA
Indonesian-Chinese flight attendant Jamie Chua was just 20 years old when she met Indonesian multi-millionaire Nurdian Cuaca in the business class section of a Singapore Airlines flight in the 1990s.
Married for 15 years, the couple welcomed son Cleveland and daughter Calista before divorcing in 2011.
Ms Chua made headlines by demanding $483,000 AUD in monthly alimony to care for her and her two children.
She famously succeeded in freezing her husband’s assets and the case was settled out of court for an undisclosed sum.
Since their separation, Ms Chua has carved a name for herself in the cosmetics industry with skincare line Luminous1.
She is widely hailed as Singapore’s Instagram Queen and employs two full-time maids who help her curate and shoot photos for social media.
Rumoured to own the largest array of Hermes bags in the world, Ms Chua’s cavernous collection of more than 200 accessories is thought to surpass those of Kim Kardashian and Victoria Beckham.
Prices for a Hermes Birkin, size 30 and made with standard Togo leather, start at roughly $16,200.
Her most expensive handbag is an ultra-rare Hermes Himalaya Diamond Birkin in size 30, which is worth an estimated $512,590.
Ms Chua also owns more than 300 pairs of shoes which cost an average of $2,000 each.
Her priciest pair of designer heels are the Christian Louboutin Strass sky-scraping stilettos, retailing at approximately $4,600.
To keep her glittering wardrobe of designer wares in pristine condition, Ms Chua invested $120,000 in a 600 square foot, fingerprint-protected closet.
