Juno Mak explains why he brought a luxury bag on stage at HKFA

20 Apr – Following the backlash from viewers at home, Juno Mak recently took to social media to explain the tote bag that was displayed on the podium when he appeared on stage as a presenter at the Hong Kong Film Awards.

The filmmaker, who was tasked to announce the winner for the Best Costume Design, was recently accused of trying to advertise the bag that he had with him on stage, with many saying that the action was inappropriate and disrespectful.

On 18 April, Juno shared several photos of him on social media, including one that the viewers at home didn't see - that is him taking out the envelope bearing the name of the winner of the said category out of the bag.

"Carry it in hand all day with only one envelope in the bag, in honour of the "Best Costume Design Award"," he explained.

The bag is actually a Gucci Diana, which is priced at USD 5,500.
