Yolanda Hadid caught in counterfeit luxury bag controversy

The internet is buzzing with claims that Yolanda Hadid has made a PR blunder. Recently, her photo appeared on an Instagram profile that fights against counterfeit Hermès bags.

Exorbitantly expensive bags, sometimes worth a fortune, are often seen as a marker of a particular social status. One has to admit that luxury bags have become a lifestyle and a symbol of success for many celebrities and starlets. It’s no surprise that celebrity closets are filled with bags that could be worth the price of a condo.

Among all fashionistas, one of the most coveted bags in the world is the famous Birkin produced by the French brand Hermès. This luxury accessory was created 40 years ago in honour of actress Jane Birkin. Today, purchasing one is not the most straightforward task because vast amounts of money are insufficient. To acquire the legendary bag, one must build good relationships with the seller, which can take several years. Another popular model from this fashion house is the Kelly model, which enjoys no less prestige.

Some time ago, Yolanda Hadid was seen with a Hermès accessory. Unfortunately, the mother of famous models, whose fortune is estimated at $50 million, was reportedly posing with a counterfeit. At least, that’s what one of the experts running an Instagram profile specializing in these precious trinkets claims.

On social media, you can find the profile @thefakebirkinslayer, which fights against counterfeits. The profile regularly features photos showing celebrities who allegedly own counterfeit Hermès products. Recently, a photo of Gigi and Bella Hadid's mom appeared there. The stars of the reality show "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" faced sharp criticism from netizens.

Blunder?
