Why I Believe Anna Bey’s Luxury Goods Are Fake
TLDR; Anna Bey’s fashion sense doesn’t match the $100k worth of her collection, she doesn’t have a car, “kept wife” attitude, or appreciate the value of her items. Anna Bey uses fake goods as a marketing gimmick since her “Kelly” collection indicates establishment, great wealth and well managed finances, convincing her followers of her “millionaire” lifestyle. If Anna’s bags were authentic, they would be in very bad shape from how she handles them.
EE14A08E-0F5C-41DC-8EFC-DE6BBC4B2DC2.jpeg

Anna Bey claims to lead a life of affluence, brought forth by LOA and her marriage, when these items were manifested by Western Union payments, crossing international lines, and triple AAA qualifications.
Anna is the type of lady that orders her online catalogs from highest to lowest price, thinking it correlates to prestige and higher status.

I’d love for the Tattle ladies to chime in on my thoughts. I read through some of the most liked posts on Anna before I posted this, so you may see repeated points throughout as they confirmed my points.
Lastly, I am not against replica bags, since I’ve had (albeit bad quality) ones before, but Tattle is against replica bags being used to deceive and scam Anna’s fans & followers. I’m sorry if some of my points are redundant or require more clarity. If you find any of my points wrong or contradicting, PLEASE add your input.

My biggest cause of doubt is:
  • Anna Bey brings these luxury goods to every occasion, and poorly complement her clothing. First of all, Anna rarely takes pictures of her goods up close. Anna always takes pictures of her goods from a distance, sideways to deceive you because it’s difficult to detect authenticity if the picture is in low to moderate definition. Fortunately, I’m a stickler for solving problems and Anna’s not that intelligent or insightful.
Why do I doubt Anna’s goods' authenticity so strongly??
FIRST, a highly valued woman like Anna who emphasizes luxurious living would have her collection under lock and key, likely insured, and maintained incessantly. THESE GOODS ARE PRICED ASTRONOMICALLY!! No reasonable person would display these pieces haphazardly.

I take my vintage Louis Vuitton bags out to nice restaurants rarely, not shopping, not when I’m going to be doing a lot of walking, low risk of damaging it at school or trying on clothes because I don’t want to be a target or greatly damage my goods, since I care about them no matter how fair their condition is. I bought them vintage for under $200 each due to their condition, and I can’t wait to get them repaired so they’ll look like the day the 1st owner unboxed them. If I carried my vintage bags, if they were like new again, like Anna’s they would deteriorate very easily.

If I had an Hermes bag, it wouldn’t be out of its box unless I wanted to look at it b/c I don’t have a climate controlled closet or optimal dust protection. Even then, I would have a picture on my phone so I wouldn’t cause damage by constantly taking it out.


SECOND, a highly valued woman like Anna would’ve recommended SA (shopping associate/assistant) for locations she shops in. For an egotistical woman, she would’ve had tons of pictures of the bags in store, having scarves tied on, being picked up from the cleaners or handbag spa, etc. and tags of her assistants in Hermes, Chanel, Yves St. Laurent, everywhere; yet, radio silence.

THIRD, the conditions Anna displays her bags in are dirty, dusty, “common” and uncontrolled!! Anna doesn’t worry about damaging these bags because they can be replaced affordably to retain perfection, and the material is harder, even if the factory says it’s 1:1 with the real thing.
64762B0D-B6B2-47A3-854E-E3E5CF380D84.jpeg

A scratch, nick, smell or deep stain will greatly depreciate these bags! I’d sniffle/shed a tear if I accidentally dropped my dark colored/light colored Coach bags, but I’m crying if I dropped my Speedy 25 on the ground, since it’s in the best condition out of my collection. It wouldn’t be worn again until it goes to the purse hospital ☹!

Even if Anna wasn’t planning on selling her bags, “High Society” and Affluent Women (they’re another species, I know) would assume she’s another [dumb] bitch that believes money grows on trees so she doesn’t take care of her goods, reckless/ungrateful with her/her husband’s money, and lazy. Even the “ditziest unappreciative” girl Anna’s against wouldn’t be so careless, and if she didn’t feel like she’d treat her bags properly, she’d swallow her pride for a Coach or Michael Kors.

Nothing will devalue these brands faster than being shown in publicly accessed places, on a poorly dressed person, on less than pristine furniture or venues, and worn constantly, so that’s why they’re replicas.


FINALLY, it’s dangerous and unrealistic to carry luxury goods daily even in the safest, most affluent countries and communities. Wearing both fake and authentic bags can greatly increase your chances of being mugged, kidnapped, murdered, etc. due to the fact you’re broadcasting your net worth, bank account, social standing, and how unaware you are outside your “bubble” to display these items in public. At the same time, Anna is probably not worried about losing these items since she has a vendor to replace these bags at an affordable cost and they aren’t real, so why treat them well?

The luxury goods Anna carries, if they were authentic, should only be showcased behind a glass, private “no photography allowed” events, Anna’s face blurred out due to privacy concerns, or with the dust bags on and in the box on her shelf in a climate controlled room. Dust particles, humidity, weird conditions and smells will destroy these bags over time. Anna hasn’t posted herself cleaning any of these bags once, which indicates to me that they’re replicas that don’t need cleaning or aren’t valuable enough to pretend.


1. The Light Blue “Chanel”
E13B653A-7619-4DE3-BD98-3703756DB6E5.jpeg

CCC508D2-11FF-48DF-A53B-7139DD5E0A65.jpeg

This light blue “Chanel mini flap bag” has been through hell and back, and it changes moods per picture. Anna Bey wore this bag hiking, stuffed it in a seat holder on an Easyjet, and overall in odd places. I know I treated my replica “LV” bags like shit since their material is “hardy”, but I’d never toss my real ones or wear them every single day.
C1AC6A6F-D3F8-4B46-848F-028F528F88C8.jpeg

I had trouble finding this bag online, because the blue and # of diamonds were in between mini and medium.
For the $4,200-4,700 value, she’s beaten the hell out of it and it should be damaged from various surfaces, hiking, being styled with ugly outfits, etc. when it should be preserved as much as possible, with the sensitive color + material. This bag is the cost of a used car in below average condition.


This color appears difficult to purchase, and for it’s status, it’s weird she never showed the box, unboxing, Chanel shopping bag, revealed her SA, shopping location, privately viewed more bags, recorded the process, etc. which gives me confirmation this bag is a replica since Anna loves to post luxurious activities.


2. Numerous “Hermes” handbags
Hermes handbags are known as “lifetime investments” due to their price commonly being higher than store bought Kelly and Birkins.
Anna Bey is confident in her “Hermes Kelly”’s passing the lie detector test because, what desperate person would fake a Kelly bag or in Anna’s thoughts of(in clearer English), “this bag costs too much to be faked, and anyone who affords a Kelly would never carry a fake in public.”

Anna’s “Hermes” collection would fool her youngest fans, like I was, that she’s as successful in marriage and business as she claims since I’ve seen Hermes bags on celebrities and out of reach for even the most well known people.
It’s a ruse to gain subscribers as fast as possible and convince them to invest their hard earned money. Anna’s “Hermes” collection would fool her oldest fans, since the prestige indicates establishment, elegance, well managed finances and maturity.
FF035529-A230-4DEF-B86A-F24055FF0FEB.jpeg

Since Anna chose to go overboard with her “collection” too soon without showing an ounce of car or home, I strongly doubt their authenticity. No one who worked hard for their money and marriage would spend money so recklessly unless they’re scamming.
4D4B8828-F581-457C-B4D9-4D592B63494B.jpeg


Hermes Kelly’s are very difficult to purchase in store as you have to increase your rapport with the brand over time.
Even if Anna bought these bags on an online marketplace, such as eBay, a strict vendor may vet her storage area and interview her beforehand. Even if Anna won the lottery and leveled up to a millionairess, online merchants would tell her to kick rocks and wait for an offer from trustworthy buyers.
7BC7A671-ACDF-483F-A957-729A3C79D1E2.jpeg

They might tell her to buy their “lower end” products first, but a reputable vendor would never sell a new person bags in uncommon colorways, since what if she or her husband turned out to be fraudulent and they took criminal money??
Plus, Anna Bey’s not known as a fashionista or fashionable so she still wouldn’t have access to uncommon colorways or ones reputable buyers have expressed interest in.


This is a rough estimate of the color, model + material of the bags, plus the approximate USD [& used] price of Anna’s Hermes collection:
  • Hermes Kelly 25 Sellier Rouge Garance Togo Leather = $14,732
  • Hermes Kelly Nata Off White Pochette Swift = $28,500
  • Hermes Kelly Bleu Frida Swift with Palladium Hardware 25 = $18,610
  • Hermes Kelly Mini II Bag Gold Epsom with Gold Hardware 20 = $32,310
  • Total = $94,152/4: 23,538 average per bag
An elegant woman with a $100,000+ collection of Hermes products would never wear her handbags recklessly or out of place, plus with disastrous clothing. A smart, affluent and elegant woman wouldn’t spend money like wildfire. The zaniest elegant outfits would make fashion sense, but Anna continues to fall below the mark considerably w/ too small clothing, low quality, poor material and clashing undertones. I’m not going to compare Anna’s fashion to trendy fashion with “Hermes”, because they’re 2 very different pathways & Anna said she’s not into “fast fashun”. Anna’s continuous fashion disasters reminds me of early high school, where I’d carry obvious replica stuff but my outfits also didn’t match the supposed price value or prestige.

An elegant budget queen’s outfit wouldn’t crash and burn so badly, especially for a woman who markets herself as a socialite for a lot of money. Anna can’t comprehend the dollar value of what she carries without TV [shows] telling her.

In my opinion, these are the worst fakes b/c of her home living, lack of private transportation, outfit choice, basic jewelry, lack of creativity in appearance (hair,makeup, nails, no fashion risks, ) and not being seen with other “Hermes women” in public and on private social media profiles. Elegant laydeez, ANNA DOESN’T HAVE A CAR OR ELSE SHE WOULD’VE SHOWED IT ALREADY!!!

Influencers don’t count, even though she’s an influencer. The # of Hermes bags she owns doesn’t correlate with her attitude, [humble] transparency, lack of wealth expression, educational values, and an unclear story for her job. Importantly, Anna does not appreciate fashion, only fashion names which is very visible in her posts. If a Fashion Nova style outfit was actually Dior, Anna would wear it like it’s going out of style.
  • If Anna was a kept wife who didn’t want a job, she would still have a paid income stream that’d allow her to invest in herself, such as selling the bags or clothing she didn’t wear any longer.
  • If Anna was a kept wife who wanted to become an elegance “expert” seriously, she would have a physical location in her home country.
    • If Anna was a real kept wife, she would’ve never called herself an expert since 1 certification under your belt doesn’t make you know it all. If Anna called herself an expert in 20 years, that would be adequate, but even then her knowledge fine living & expensive goods would remind her to emphasize she’s a European based etiquette teacher, so her tips do not apply internationally [but I’ll try to work with you.], and her prices wouldn’t be so high due to ongoing experience building, plus her knowledge wouldn’t equal the expertise and know-how of an etiquette school. That would be an insult and thievery of her potential clients, when money is precious.
  • If Anna was a kept wife that didn’t want a physical location, she would scout for clients in her neighborhood & surrounding areas, and even advertise herself as a traveling elegance teacher.

Anna’s demeanor and need to own multiple uncommon colors of Hermes Kellys tell us she’s in a rush to elevate her social status, and misinformed about the process of obtaining status symbols, plus the status symbols themselves. This is an example of immaturity in conjuring high priced goods, and a poor way of managing money. If I was a woman in her community looking in, I’d assume she’s looking for a way to get rid of bad money quickly, or cooking up a scheme since none of my neighbors act as such.

The speed Anna showed off her bags is concerning. No box, unboxing, dustbag, Hermes receipt or big shopping bags? This stands out greatly due to how fast she shows off fine living to her followers.
Fake, cheapskate affluent women who can’t afford the box, dust bag and certificate of “authenticity” don’t have any proof of authenticity, and she doesn’t want the packaging to be scrutinized, so she went without.

Anna stocked up on Hermes Kelly’s quickly because Hermes bags themselves indicate the climax of establishment in Girl World since the Kelly bag is what the elefant princess Grace Kelly carried, equating to Anna Bey being an elegantly made, fashionable woman like Grace Kelly.
If Anna Bey had a visible, successful anonymous husband, the Hermes Kelly would have demonstrated how successful, loving and lengths he’d go for making his woman happy.
12599257-8BD0-4E96-9C59-4F1C1E6EA0C3.jpeg

If these “Hermes” bags were authentic, an affluent, egotistical woman like Anna Bey would’ve shown her bags down to grain and their packaging. It’s not egotistical or snobby to show off your purses, but Anna Bey’s behaviors are atypical and suspicious for a woman with numerous high priced goods.

Random colors of Anna’s “Hermes” bags do not match her aura. Even if Anna collected common colored Hermes bags out of love for class, simplicity, and hobby, her lifestyle and closet would envision that. Anna’s “Hermes” collection is all over the place, with pricing and the odd places she fashions them, which gives me the indication they’re fake. Anna’s shit eating grin when carrying these bags makes me believe her “Hermes” goods are fake.

Finally, the cockiest influencer or society woman will quickly drop the act when they find out their materialistic attitude doesn’t make them friends [in high society]. Even though there are mean girl groups and cliques everywhere, an elegant, high society woman wouldn’t fall for gossip or tape measuring competitions.
4. ANNA’S HERMES BAGS ARE FAKE/DUPES/REPLICAS!!
Anna Bey believes tagging Hermes on her posts will feign authenticity since, who would tag Hermes on a fake product? Hermes isn’t going to DM or leave a message on your post saying your product is fake so it’s a win-win for her. To her followers, they’ll strongly believe her handbags are real since wealthy women aren’t afraid to advertise back to the brand that verifies their prestige and Hermes wouldn’t expose her.
D06567B5-2522-4163-AD39-B3B1074B4E06.jpeg


  • Anna Bey doesn’t plug her vendor(s) and SAs. For an “Hermes” aficionado, she doesn’t have the basic OR a random collection of Hermes scarves.
  • Again, Anna goes out of her way to choose exclusive colors that are reserved for the highest priority clients, when Anna looks like the wannabe “affluent” woman that can’t even walk into the Hermes and buy a charm. Imagine how slighted Anna would be if (insert brand here: Michael Kors, monogrammed Louis Vuitton, gaudy, Coach, H&M, Zara) purse girl walked into Hermes in “not elegant” clothing and left with a handbag.

Anna’s “Hermes” goods are fakes/dupes/replicas/1:1s since the bags popped up in a short time, and once again, she never showed the buying process or unboxing. I know when I bought fake bags subsequently, they wouldn’t arrive at the same time, so I’d fashion a new bag every few weeks and months.
A6852555-7866-4736-A12E-3A98FB7FB0B8.jpeg

I believe the red Kelly with palladium hardware was borrowed, unless this was touched on otherwise. Please let me know,

4. Anna is a WAnnabey!
Anna is a liar and the picture definition of fake affluence. Anna Bey lacks the biggest factors for obtaining these luxury goods: relationships, rapport & reputation. Even though Anna tags other “Hermes” or luxury bag women in her posts, that’s minuscule to get into the door. Anna’s perspective for fake affluence is one of greed, selfishness, immaturity and hunger. Anna being a gaudy, fake rich woman is hypocritical for what she preaches.
DC3F7EC8-2AE7-4038-9DA9-93DC976D4BE1.jpeg


ElegantWOC, why are Anna’s fake luxury goods a big deal?
Anna’s fake luxury goods are a big deal since she’ll justify higher prices for her courses by the perceived value of her handbags.
Anna’s fake luxury goods are a big deal because her followers of all ages will be deceived since the perceived value adds to her online social status, reputation and bank account. Tattle and luxury good ladies, when have you seen someone jump from Louis Vuitton and Gucci to Hermes Kelly’s and a Birkin without showing their journey?
6D811F9A-D813-4FB2-A925-A7C863B04655.jpeg

Anna, wearing real designer with fake luxury goods doesn’t make them authentic.
I believe Anna allegedly sold her authentic, non-“Hermes” (like Gucci) purses in order to afford multiple replica “Hermes” bags and “Chanel”. If any of the “Hermes” bags shown are authentic, they are borrowed or rented.

Dear Ladiezh, Anna has launched a new scam as usual. But she has been SO drunk lately trying to portray the ski person that she is not (btw, what's all about those "ski" trips? I wonder if she is scorting there) that the details are all over the place.

Anna, I could easily say that I am doing more than your "team" at this point, but we know that there is no team, isn't it? Is just you 🧐

The landing page says 2 payments of $597 OR 1 payment of $997

1678826494871.png


But if I go to the terms and services... https://www.elegantstylist.me/terms-of-service/

It looks like it has your old pricing or... for some reason, a cheaper one? LOL

1678826724833.png


That being said, if any lurker bought this scam for $997,00 or 2 payments of $597,00, please ask for a refund and refer to their own terms and services.

What an absolute mess.

Style-wise Banana reminds me of this youtuber Audrey Coyne. Audrey also dresses like an old woman even though she's young (her pants are often too loose on her, she wears boring cardigans and bow tie blouses, loves the color brown and beige). She also has a rectangle figure, just like our Banana. Some years ago Audrey was heavy on the prep look that made her look like she was wearing a costume. That's what Banana does - she doesn't wear 'normal' clothes, it's like a cross between dressing up for a costume party and old granny chic (remember how someone here once mentioned that they spotted Banana at Zurich airport, she was wearing a dress that made her look like she had landed in Zurich from the start of the last century? 😁 ). I mean, sure, Audrey does have more fashion sense than Banana and she clearly appreciates quality fashion, but in terms of their STYLE, they're a lot like each other; granny dressing all the way. I really don't understand why young women throw away their youth by dressing like grandmothers. Being young is precious, enjoy being young while you can, why dress like a 70 year old? Once you become old, you'll be old forever, why not make the most of your young years? I mean, my mother is in her 60's and she doesnt' even own a quilted jacket, if she did it would make her look 80. We all know Banana is trying to 'neutralize' her escorting vibe by dressing like an old, conservative woman but the problem is that it doesn't take the escorting vibe away. It just makes her look like a prematurely aged hooker who is trying too hard.

Good morning ladies,
Attached you'll find Scammas Q&A.
It's such a relief to know that we would be accepted to the A-list even without owning a Birkin, Anna is such a sweet soul 💕
And of course she's making a video on Kate Middleton's style, these 'elegance coaches' always talk about the same celebrities, as if there aren't any other sources of inspiration out there...I wonder how will that go with her advice of wearing denim dresses to be trendy this year 🤔 I don't know about you but to me, in 99% of cases denim dresses look tacky, uncomfortable and weird, almost as weird as her fillers

How very sweet of our elegant guru selling masterclass on how to tell if a man is wealthy, yet she couldnt even bag a wealthy man for herself 😗Easiest ways to tell if a man is wealthy: a wikipedia page and listed on forbes (no, not the 30 under 30).

The other not-so-easy (probably a lil crazy and obsessive) way: run a due diligence on him thru open sources (if you're on budget, news flash: google is free). Want to go to the nitty-gritty, check corporate records (some jurisdictions are free to access), annual reports of company(ies) he's associated with, order a credit report from credit bureau etc etc.. Save your 50 bucks! Don't buy Anna Bey's course, cause i think her advice would be very general and not tailored to your situation and the type of man you're trying to attract

Anna updated her Youtube profile & banner pics (according to Google, 22 hours ago). She's planning a new workshop - again! I'm combing through my memory, but I don't think the Fabulous Future Formula has made an appearance before.

The irony of Anna trying to (allegedly) build up a community for woman then saying that woman are "jealous" and that is "lonely at the top" (?) -- what a contradictory position to be in!

I wouldn't join any group which leader thinks so badly about her fellow girlfriends. I don't think that people like Lina Hadid (former Anna's friend) feels threatened by seeing her selling a few online courses. Nobody is jealous of her. Not even the Geneve middle-class folks which may have way better and stable source of income and zero Tattle threads about them.

She has been chronically online on this elegant bullshit that now is just delusional to the fact that most woman after 30, they want to be part of a community of positive like-minded people.

Anna does not have kids neither want to, her lifestyle is based on taking 204820 pictures of grass and her pets, going to random restaurants and trying to catch the last sale on Yoox to get "designer" items. Is just non-relatable for most ACTUALLY SUCCESSFUL woman.

For fellow Tattle ladiez that are married:

I guess we can spot easily how fake the narrative of her husband even having comments about her nail colour is. Indeed, some man may have opinions about your looks, but I sense that was a response for me (hello Anna! ;)) based on my previous comment regarding not allowing your husband to say what you do or not with your style.

Dear Anna, I am glad if you are using the nail colour of your choice regardless your Avarage Joe does not like it. But I do not think that story is true at all.

Does Aija have any nice pants at all? Her pants have either a horrid, poo color (the above screenshot of brown pants is ANOTHER pair in brown that I've seen on her recently), or a terrible cut or both. Aija, you just cannot do pants well. Stick to dresses instead.
She wears those pants and have a problem with women wearing jeans ! Jeans look so much better.

My dhear eleghant laydieeee, Anna is the most ehleghant stylist ever to exist! This is an investment in your future (because she said so)! And besides, Anna is affluent (because she said so) and therefore is perfectly qualified to style you (because she said so)! Whatever price she charges for her course is automatically worth it, whether is $10 or $10,000 (because she said so)! Long live our queen 💖

I am from the Baltic bloc so perhaps I have some insight into what Banana is thinking. First of all, I suspect she is from the Russian-speaking family population of Estonia (not that there is anything wrong about being from that group) but there are certain traits I see in Banana that I see around my area. I think that yes, indeed, there is some mentality/culture issue that explains her thinking. For that certain group of people, marrying rich/getting a rich guy is the main goal in life ( that is why I think Aija did not pursue university education or trade qualifications), that a rich man will take care of everything. Of course, marrying a rich guy is not easy peasy and some girls turn to escorting to make money. Again, it is hard work and their choice to do so. I can understand why Banana took that road.
In her current dressing style I see a lot of Baltic Eastern European women (Let me abbreviate to BEE) outdated perceptions about elegance, that is especially demonstrated in her rigid approach to define what IS elegant and what is not and the harsh criticism of others who do not comply with her view. BEEE women who try Aija's approach are often overdressed for the occasion and stand out like a sore thumb even in the Baltic bloc. This is usually a sign that while the BEE is trying to look rich, she really isn't and is on the hunt for a rich man. I think that Aija is still stuck in her 20s ambition to marry a billionaire but the years are ticking by and she has not reached that goal. There aren't that many billionaires anyhow, so she pretends that Joe is very well to do, because a BEE needs to keep up that front. This is also perhaps partly cultural. I know women who have husbands who are actually drunks and violent, but the BEE tries all she can to make it look like he is the best man ever.
I've been thinking about her granny style and I think I know the answer to that - BEE women have a lot of internal and external pressure to be dressing ''age appropriate'', that is, if you are over thirty, the more conservative and granny one should dress to be ''elegant''. Again, not all BEEs including me do that, but Banana-level-eleghunt ones do try to be disparaging towards the ones who dress ''too young for their age''.
As other posters have mentioned, people in service industries can immediately tell if someone is a potential customer or not. I stayed at a London 5* hotel with my mother and several ''wannabe rich'' laydeez tried to sneak into the executive lounge that is available for the well paying customer, possibly to sit there and wait for the big catch. The staff there were so eagle eyed that those who did not have the right to be there were kindly asked to leave. Sometimes staff would go around and ask guests in the lounge which room they were booked in. My mother and I were never asked to prove that we belonged there, the staff knew we were the paying guests. I think Banana would have gotten a heart attack seeing my mother sit in an ''eleghunt'' place wearing neon green jeans and dad sandals. It's not about the mystical ''looking rich'' that Banana is always babbling about. It is about the confidence and attitude one has. And being judgemental and disparaging is not elegant.
BEE here😁 I agree with everything you said, the age pressure in my home country is enormous. After 40s you should only cut your hair short as it's not appropriate to wear it long. Dress like a granny, do not go out as you are simply too old for that. Save your best clothes for church or funeral.

Thankfully, it is changing now but this type of thinking is still present in society.

I personally think Joe doesn't give a monkey's about how Aija dresses. She just needed to make up some story that would feature her husband to 'prove' she's still married to him, even though nobody has seen him for ages. I guess that Joe is happiest when she is as far away from him as possible. He must have realized long ago that being married to her only brought him stress and problems and if he could turn back time he would have never do that again. All that bad publicity he was facing because of her...I wouldn't be surprised if he was drafting up divorce plans.


Her IG stories show that Aija very clearly spent all Easter alone (meaning; without Joe), he probably couldn't be bothered to do anything with her even during the Easter holidays, so the last thing he cares about is what she wears. I don't think that they are even friends now, maybe acquaintances but she must be a burden to him.

Spicy elegance: will probably be the justification to all her fashion sins, like why she wears the blue Channela to the forrest, the clunky outdated necklace in her styling reel etc.

Let's imagine Banana's story is true, she lives with her millionaire husband Joe , missing the train wouldn't have been a big issue. She could have called home, told her husband that she misread the departure platform and he would have just told her to stay in Paris and come back next day. Ted would've been fine in the care of her other half.
OR if Banana was smart, she would have told the dog sitter that she needs him to stay overnight and the matter would be resolved. But I wonder why Banana had to get back to Geneva. Officially she is an influencer, so she doesn't have an office to be at...

Banana, improve your storytelling, even the lies/half truths don't sound luxe anymore.

Did Anna yet again took a picture of her companion’s hand without him knowing? Seems to be taken in such a rush and secrecy.

Yes, everyone would tell their husband "hold my hand please, I want to take a picture"
Anyway, I'm not convinced it is Joe.
Anna, you please prove us you've got an assistant?
