I need to pay attention when she travels again to India. Her husband is an internal medicine doctor and her circle of friends throw these Royal weddings. She did have a “business” (the capes for B’s) but not sure how successful that was since I haven’t seen more of it. Her spending is not over the top like these other influencers. I think she lost credibility when she started giving advice about the Hermes appointment system. Few days ago she was talking about Hermes baits and showed a bunch of Hermes lipsticks. Maybe she forgot that she received as an Hermes gift a box full of lipsticks.

Internal Medicine Doctor. LOL. This explains it all!
Going to break it down for all the non Indians (I write this as a Indian and as a Mrs. MD ).
Listen , Indian docs are a dime a dozen, especially Internal Med....certainly not the highest income potential or specialty. So either, the hubby has a side hustle or family money; hence, the speculation she allegedly resells the "Quota Bait". Not exactly a hedge fund manager living! LoL. Her friend is Caviar & Chèvre, also a Chicago wealthy surburb reseller...so would it be that far fetch speculation that she resells her bait to her (especially since she barely shows any of it..only selectively choosing here and there)?
Context on Indian culture- its loud and elitist. Everything has to be over the top..house, car, wedding, and especially jewelry...aka her infamous gaudy ring. Its not uncommon in our culture. We tend to hoard jewelry in the safe. Our culture is extremely judgmental: always "keeping up with the Joneses", so to speak. Everything Bollywood all the time!
Us Indians are also extremely frugal..we will fly like Spirit and Frontier (not me lol) and live in McMansions. Hence..she flew Air India 1st class..not expensive at all and I believe also British Airways business class..which is bottom of the barrel..yet to the average outsider it seems "rich". Not exactly Emirates 1st class or a private jet!!!!
Spending pattern- Buying a non exotic quota bag (I was also offered one with a fraction of what she spends) along with furniture will help elevate your "VIP" status. Its very simple..just buy crap that is expensive. Notice she doesn't shop at the Chicago store anymore...mainly NYC & Paris. For the multiple bags..you just need to ********** a different name/accounts(hubby/ parents/ relatives/
..pets lol). In Paris she most likely dropped major $$ in fine jewellery to be a VIP. Did anyone else notice when she wrote a post on her appointment experience in Paris December (a while ago)..she stayed at The Crillon and got a tour of the rooftop..she said the SA mentioned she was ********..well 1) How did you get the appt? 2) How did the SA know your Insta personality?! Someone please correct if me I am wrong..but she left a lot of details out! I had read on TPF somewhere that Crillon used to offer an "experience" where they would give you a tour of the FSH rooftop. Idk if thats true or not!
At the end of the day with Influencers, is that they show what they want to show to create a fantasy and escapism for their audience. Additionally, in the case for luxury handbag influencers, if they don't continuously keep showing Hermès in their feed, the audience will lose interest, including the Insta/Tik Tock algorithm. Also, take into account WHO is the audience? Is it an average person from the USA..then yes it seems shes "rich". Or is it from Singapore, Dubai or Tokyo (where the standard of living higher)..then it maynot see that big of a deal?
Advertising resellers while buying brand new handbags from the boutique..very cheap..just like EGW with her cheapo jewelry line. Its all about making money from advertising.
At the end of the day she is running a business targeted towards a certain audience...which all of us can do with a hubby, a high credit card limit, and social media.
