The video has since garnered over 9,300 views and 45 comments. Now, Malaysians (including yours truly) are curious to know if they can try claiming branded stuff for free, too!
Here’s how Evelyn scored a Longchamp bag for FREE
To sum up Evelyn’s video, here’s what she did to claim a Longchamp bag for free:
- Download the VIPSHOP app (available on App Store and Google Play) and register.
- Launch the Slash & Win game (via the homepage or the personal settings page).
- Pick a gift you like and click ‘Get Gift’. Key in your details to proceed.
- After picking a gift, you’ll need to invite your friends within the time limit with a unique referral link to help you ‘slash’ the price of the gift until it becomes RM0!
Speaking to WORLD OF BUZZ, Evelyn also gave us this pro tip: inviting new users will give you higher price slashes as compared to existing users, but the amount will differ based on the gift you pick.
Meanwhile, all your friends have to do is help you slash the price with these easy steps:
- Click on the referral link to open the app. (If they’re new to VIPSHOP, they will need to download and sign up on the app first)
- Click on ‘Help Your Friend’ and voila! The price is slashed!
According to Evelyn, she only needed to invite 12 friends to get the Longchamp bag for free since she mostly invited new users. She mentioned that new users could slash up to RM40 off while existing users could only slash RM1.50 off.
She went on to tell us, “I received the bag after just seven days and I didn’t even have to pay for shipping! I could also see that the bag comes with a certification of authenticity.”
Evelyn is not the only Malaysian who managed to claim the free gift though! Check out this other user who managed to score her own free gift:

There are more than just handbags up for grabs!
Beyond the Longchamp bag, here are a few other exciting gifts we found that might be easier for you to win:
- Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream Moisturiser (RM299.90 value)
- Anessa Perfect UV Sunscreen Skincare Milk (RM106.90 value)
- Giorgio Armani Lip Maestro Liquid Lipstick (RM119.90 value)
- Tigernu Water-resistant Backpack (RM85.90 value)
- Puma Metal Cat Cap (RM54.90 value)
- Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micellar Water (RM59.90 value)
There are many free gifts available ranging from bags, skincare, jewellery, to even sportswear and they all differ in value. The lesser the value of the gift, the easier it is for you to claim it. For instance, the Adidas cap requires three invites (who are new users) only!
Here are some other useful tips that can help you claim your free gift on VIPSHOP:
- You can win a total of 10 gifts per day but you may only choose three gifts to slash each time.
- Each invited friend is limited to cut prices up to three times within the time limit. Each friend can also help you win one free gift only.
- Some gifts will only be available in limited quantities. The key is to BE QUICK!
- If you’re unable to slash the price to RM0 within the time limit, you can always try again the next day.
Good luck winning your free gifts with all of these tips and tricks! ?
But wait, so many branded gifts for free… authentic or not?
