Victoria Beckham revealed that then–creative director Marc Jacobs once realized the bag she carried from the brand was a fake.
The former Spice Girl was photographed shopping with husband David Beckham in the early 2000s, carrying Louis Vuitton Graffiti Alma. When Jacobs saw the photos, he immediately recognized the bag was fake and offered to send her an authentic version, according to Asia One.
Speaking on the Call Her Daddy podcast recently, Victoria said: “This was not a real Louis Vuitton bag. This was a fake one.”
