Once again, Daniela Reyes indulged in a shopping spree at Hermès, sharing the experience with her TikTok followers through an unboxing video of her latest high-end purchases. This time, the Cuban influencer selected two twilly scarves for her Birkin bag. These small accessories serve multiple purposes, including decorating and protecting the handles of handbags, and their prices range from $200 to $250. Additionally, she picked up a belt and a pair of sandals, which have quickly become her favorite in another color.
Daniela's shopping choices sparked a flurry of comments. While some followers applauded her ability to enjoy such luxuries, others were baffled by her willingness to spend so much on these items, especially considering her recent arrival in the United States. Comments ranged from curiosity about her rapid accumulation of luxury items to indifference towards expensive brands. "How does someone who just got here already have a Hermès bag that long-time customers can't even get?" one comment questioned. Others expressed disinterest, saying, "Am I the only woman who doesn't care about bags and brands?"
The discussion extended to comparisons with other celebrities and influencers. "Marc Anthony is buying Toyota, and these people are at Hermès," remarked one user. Some viewed Hermès as a social status symbol, suggesting that owning such items is a way to showcase wealth. "It's so expensive and it wears out; you really have to want a bag to invest in one," another commented. Some believe that a trend of mimicking fellow influencer Camila Guiribitey's Hermès collection has emerged, sparking an unofficial competition among Cuban influencers to see who can acquire more products from the brand.
Despite the mixed reactions, Hermès bags remain among the most coveted items, particularly within influencer circles, where they are seen as a benchmark of success and status.
