I don’t think her bags are fake since moving to Paris at least. Because it’s the best - cheapest and easiest - place to score Hermes bags. Also because of the pandemic, a lot of the rich customers who fly to Paris have decreased dramatically so there’s less competition.
More likely the recent ones are second hand because Hermes has quotas and it’s starting to get difficult to get more bags with her profile as an average customer (albeit influencer status). The ones that look saggy, she probably bought resale and it’s “lightly used” condition - a lot cheaper.
She was extremely lucky to get the black mini Kelly. In store, the price is rather affordable. But most of time in other countries, you need to be a VIP to get offered, so the resale price is x3. That was an amazing score in my opinion.
I think she must have realized buying these mini kellys in Paris with low spending history were absolutely worth it as she can actually turn a profit if she sells. So she keeps trying to get more. Same with size 25 bags. But she’s reaching her limit, the store doesn’t wanna give her more. Hence her sudden new love for “big bags”
For the newest green mini kelly, that would be slightly easier to get because of the color. I think she just uses ALL connections (especially her bf) to get these bags, a lot of begging and pulling strings. Generally it does help a lot that her bf speaks French, and works in fashion. It also helps when you approach sales associates as a couple.
Regarding fakes, the cartier bracelet and mini kelly are the easiest to get high quality fakes. But I don’t think she would do that because it’s too embarrassing to get caught in fashion circles. However, resale is very possible - for Cartier especially you can hardly tell if it’s not new as the bracelets pretty much scratch immediately and can be polished anyway. Like others mentioned, one tell tale sign is she never vlogs her purchases in store unlike other luxury youtubers.
Overall, I do think its possible for her to buy all these items. Since the beginning, she’s paid for her own fashion weeks in order to rise as an influencer. I think she sees this as “investing” into her future & she’s also extremely materialistic of course. What she can’t fake however is real wealth - like all of you have pointed out - the serious lack of property, weird housing situation - she can at least rent nice places if she has money, lack of investment knowledge and behaviour, the types of “holidays” she takes and the campaigns she accepts to make quick cash.

People in this industry are extremely snobby, she would be blacklisted and publicly shamed by now if these were fakes. I’m still somehow convinced she’s pouring all the money she has (for which i still have no idea where does it come from, but not her youtube nor insta for sure) into stuff like bags to appear rich, very Balkan thing, it’s hard for people from western countries to understand this mindset why would anyone spend money on clothes and bags if they don’t have a flat, stable investments or decent savings
In places like Australia, Canada and Asia, it’s A LOT harder to get and we pay a lot more because of currency & taxes!
