Really? Fans and trolls come for Linda Ikeji for posting pictures of "Fake Hermes Birkin Bags" on IG.

When called out, she said she's too rich to buy fake. To underscore her assertion, she said she waited in line for 8 months to get her Hermes bag. When pushed further, she locked her page, and tagged Hermes through their official IG handle and got a reply. Hermes says the bag pictured below, is a counterfeit...... See all the drama after the cut...



Many users called her out for displaying the fake items, accusing her of buying Grade A fakes, their claims being that getting a Birkin bag isn’t as simple as walking into a shop and buying it.

They added that people wait in line for months, before the company supplies new bags. Some also pointed out that the bags she has are bent, while others queried how she was able to splurge $25,000 for the bags at a time when CBN isn’t selling foreign currency to individuals.



However, Ms Ikeji responded to some of the critics, saying she is “too rich” to buy fake bags and that she can spot a fake with her eyes closed. She also added that she waited 8 months to get them.

 

Hermes also confirms that the bags posted online by Ms Ikeji are counterfeit;

People are watching closely.. :-)
