Article: Kim Chiu’s Emotional Success: ‘House of Little Bunny’ Sprouts in Cebu

In a world full of glamour and stage lights, we often see Kim Chiu as a talented actress and “Queen of the Dance Floor.” But behind this brilliance, there is a more personal, more honest, and more emotional success story—the birth of her House of Little Bunny in her hometown and beloved city, Cebu. The opening of her business’s first pop-up store at the Cebu Grand Hotel was not just a simple business transaction; it was an extraordinary event that showcased dreams, family, and the unwavering support of the community.

The Tiny Idea That Became a Masterpiece
The House of Little Bunny, now a successful business, started as a “tiny idea” that Kim Chiu had long cherished. Like many successful ventures, it began with a simple inspiration that gradually grew and shaped into something she calls “so beautiful.” It’s no secret that building a business, especially for a famous personality with a busy schedule, is fraught with challenges. But under her leadership as CEO, this tiny idea has become an official home for her “bunny bags,” bringing beauty, elegance, and quality to every detail.

The decision to set up their first pop-up store in Cebu has a deep personal meaning. Cebu is her hometown, the place where she comes from, and having her business there is a personal triumph. It is a look back and a show of gratitude to her “fellow Visayans” who have been supporting her for so long. The love and affection that Cebuanos have shown upon the arrival of House of Little Bunny has exceeded her expectations. Her heart, according to her, is “overflowing” with joy and gratitude.

The Pillar of Family and an Unexpected Arrival
The opening of the pop-up store was made even more emotional by the presence and active participation of her family. It wasn’t just support; they were her pillars and were with her through every trial. Her siblings Twinkle Chiu and John Paul Chiu were her partners every step of the way. They were the ones who “held my hand through everything,” she said. The unity of the Chiu siblings has been an inspiration to many, showing that business is sweeter and more successful when it is built on a foundation of family love and trust.

One part of the story that made the event even more emotional was the surprise arrival of important people in her life, like Sir Carlo and others, who gave her extra strength and joy on opening day. Every hug, every smile, and every greeting proved that Kim Chiu’s success was the success of the entire clan and those who loved her. The tears that overflowed her eyes were not tears of sadness, but tears of happiness and deep gratitude for the blessings that came and for the people who valued her dream.

Facing a “Logistics Nightmare” and Online Coordination
The preparation process was not easy. In the midst of her busy shooting in Cebu for a project (the “Alib Hu”), she had to juggle her showbiz commitments and taking care of her business. This resulted in a huge logistical challenge. According to Kim Chiu, preparing for the pop-up store was a “logistics nightmare.” She had to coordinate everything online—from sending the multi-layer organizer, arranging protocols, to exchanging messages with Team Manila.

All of this shows his dedication and management skills. Despite being far away and busy, he proved that with the help of a dedicated team, nothing is impossible. Every “hurdle” they overcame only strengthened their success. Extraordinary coordination and teamwork led them to their success. All the hardships disappeared and became “worth it” when he saw people giving their support and buying his products.

Cebu Home and the Community of Love
Opening in Cebu has provided a greater connection to the community. She thanked Jane Lee Design Studio for designing a beautiful space, her cousins, the Suarez family, and Gal Salamat for their help. She also gave special thanks to the Cebu Grand Hotel for being the “home” for her “bunny bags” while everything was being prepared. Every name she mentioned proves that business success is not a solitary endeavor, but a collective effort.

Even her personal style has become part of the narrative. With her favorite earrings and jewelry from Orochina Jewelry, Kim Chiu shows that elegance can be found in every detail. Her business reflects her appreciation for quality and love for what she does.

The Beginning of Many Blessings
The House of Little Bunny pop-up store is a limited and unique event, but Kim Chiu’s dream does not end there. It is just the beginning of more successes, more blessings, and the hope of finding more business partners in the future.

The story of Kim Chiu and the House of Little Bunny is a clear reminder: being famous in one field is no barrier to success in another. With dedication, love for family, and a strong belief in a tiny idea, any dream can become a masterpiece. In the midst of her tears on stage, she left a message: “good job everybody, well done.” This message is not only for her team, but for herself and all Filipinos who dare to reach for their little dreams. House of Little Bunny has successfully sprouted in Cebu, and it will surely grow in different parts of the country.
