Yesterday, super blogger, Linda was called out by some of her Instagram followers after she delightfully shared images of two Hermes Birkims bag she had recently purchased. She was immediately told her bags were 'knock-offs' and not the real deal....Ouch!
Linda then let her followers know that she not only purchased the bags for $14,000 a piece from a high end boutique in London but she was also too rich to buy fake handbags.....(already now!!!)!

That still did not stop the folks from bashing her continuously. And guess what? Someone got Hermes involved....lol. Naija no dey carry last!!!!
Above is the photo of the bags that started this drama. To think someone actually took time to try to confirm the authenticity of the bags was just hilarious to me....Naija people get time sha!
Linda's apology:
"Let me apologize to the true Linda Ikeji fans who may have been disappointed by my rant the other day! I reacted because I thought it was really a confirmation from Hermes. But I later found out that Hermes would never confirm the authenticity of a bag over IG dm. If they’re wrong, the owner of the bag could sue so usually they ask you to bring the bag into one of their stores and if they find it to be a counterfeit, they could seize it.
So that dm was a fluke. But anyway, enough about the bag. It’s so petty! Can’t believe how much we argued over it and how crazy I went over it! ? But the whole drama has made me realise that the amount I spent on 2 bags could have changed a few lives if I’d invested it in them. But I’m bag obsessed, what can I say? ?.
May God bless you so much that the least of your worries will be a bag! Anyway, I’ve decided to double the amount of money I’ll give out this year to aspiring female entrepreneurs. Been feeling a little guilty ? I want to redeem myself. I’ve told my pple to find a venue asap and have y’all meet me soon. Success is sweet, I tell you! When you don’t have to depend on daddy, husband, bf, Aristo. ..for anything you want..nothing beats that! I want so many ladies to succeed so the next generation can have more women to look up to. Plus, one of the must rules of getting blessings from God..is that you must spread it. You’re allowed to buy bags every now & then ? but you must help others..That’s the only way He will continue to bless you! Anyway, having said all that..I’m going on a luxury trip to Dubai soon with family and friends and I’d like to a take a true fan along. It will be an all-expense paid trip with shopping money included ?. Trying to figure out how to chose though. Any ideas? Oh and by the way, this is my first selfie"
