Remember when Francesca Eastwood burnt a red $100,000 Birkin bag at a photo shoot with her photographer boyfriend, Tyler Shields (post here) and then she received a ton of death threats well…the bag may be a fake and even if it was real it would cost more like $38,000 according to Purseblog.com.
According to Amanda Mull, managing editor of PurseBlog.com, which boasts more than 350,000 members and is the world’s largest accessories website the bag was clearly a fake, and a bad one at that!
“The bag depicted in Tyler Shields’ photos struck me as a fake as soon as I saw it and the Hermes experts who read our blog and post in our forum agree,” Mull tells RadarOnline.com. “The bag in the pre-burning photo looks thin, wrinkled and plasticky, which are all the signs of a cheap material, probably PVC, that’s been embossed with a scale pattern to mimic real crocodile. If it were real the bag would be quite stiff and incredibly smooth with strong handles that wouldn’t twist the way that they do in Francesca Eastwood’s mouth and material that wouldn’t wrinkle or bunch as it does throughout the body of the bag.”
