AceShowbiz - Melissa Rivers has kept a "probably fake" designer wallet for years. The 56-year-old star - who is the daughter of late comedienne Joan Rivers - said that one of her friends gifted her with the red leather wallet ostensibly designed by Hermes Bearn, and believes it could be a "knock off" but pretends it is genuine anyway.
"A girlfriend of mine gave [it] to me that may or may not be real. She bought it when she was on a vacation in a place where you can sometimes get really good knock offs, but I've had it for years. We pretend it's real," she told Us Weekly.
Melissa also revealed that her everyday handbag is a Khaite tote bag given to her by her fiance but the present came after she got on friendly terms with a sales assistant in the store and got her to make contact with him so that he would buy it for her.
She said, "My fiance [Steve Mitchel] gave it to me, but let's just say he had help. I saw it in a store that I go to all the time. I told my … do we call them sales associates? Now I call her Flor. I said to Flor, 'I want this. Text Steve.' So, he follows instructions. That's really good!"
One accessory currently in her tote back is a brand new pair of Chanel Oval Sunglasses but she still has the tag on whilst she decides if she actually likes them or would rather return them. She said, "I still have the tag still on so I can decide if I want to return them. For me, [they're] very out there."
