Not Quite Genuine

Struggling actress (SA) is reported to be selling her branded bags. While SA has a reputation for being up to date with her clothes, bags, and accessories, her letting go of her bags raises a few questions. First, has SA merely gone tired of her bags that she would not mind selling them? As most collectors know, owning high-end bags is not just a status symbol as these bags are considered lifetime investments.

Second, are her current finances not enough to support her lifestyle and her family as well? As the major breadwinner of her family, she would want to provide the best to support them and prove that she is capable of single-handedly keeping her lifestyle as well as her home. Reality says that SA no longer has as many projects as before, and her latest movie bombed at the tills.

However, the third question is more intriguing. Third, is SA ridding herself of her bags because she has no current benefactor? In street lingo, is there no “papa” in SA’s life now? Sometime ago, SA was enjoying a lavish lifestyle thanks to her alleged affair with a powerful personality. However, SA almost got dragged into the mess of that powerful personality, and both have publicly denied being involved with each other.

While SA is selling her Hermes bags at the usual high prices, an interested party (IP) found out a disturbing matter about her bags. IP discovered that her Hermes Birkins are not authentic.

This discovery gives rise to the fourth question: Is SA getting rid of the alleged fake bags in her collection before she gets to be actually accused of using fakes? What would be sad is if SA has no idea that she actually has fakes in her collection. What would be worse is if SA knows her bags are fakes, yet she continues to pass them off at the prices of the authentic goods.

Hence, potential buyers should remember the Latin phrase, caveat emptor, before getting excited and exchanging their cash for her bags.

In our lives in a lot of ways, it's all about being fake. You've got people wanting things for fake reasons. -Billy Corgan
