Nadine Nassib Njeim Robbed of $20,000 Hermes Bag
In a tweet from a user, it was highlighted that the theft of Njeim’s Hermes bag, valued at over $20,000, has led to calls for a fundraising campaign, as many felt she shouldn’t have to suffer this loss without support.
The Emirates Airlines staff are looking into the matter, according to Njeim. However, she voiced her disappointment over the compensation offered, stating it wouldn’t even cover a small accessory for the expensive handbag.
This incident has sparked significant discussion online, with many users debating the implications of spending large sums on luxury items like Njeim’s Hermes bag.
Some comments referenced recent videos from China, leading to criticism of Njeim. Users stated, "Don’t be upset, Nadine. Most international brands are produced in China and their manufacturing cost is vastly lower than what you paid."
They further elaborated, "If you paid $50,000, its actual price in China is around $500. Perhaps you should reflect on your decision and the choices of those who spend such amounts. You could easily visit China and purchase all those brands at a discount. It’s simply absurd."
