I only started following Flavia this year - can’t remember how I found her. I liked how she wasn’t trying to play down her obvious wealth like some other Instagrammers do - it’s less fake somehow. Anyway she did influence me to buy a few lower value things lol, the sloggi bralettes and the Spanx leggings for instance, which I am really pleased I found. For the most part she came across as genuine and I assumed she’d bought a lot of the stuff herself. Then I sort of came to my senses when she got gifted a whole set of suitcases for her winter holidays, and realised that she probably just doesn’t disclose most of it like all other influencers. My feelings toward her soured and so I unfollowed.
I’m interested why a previous poster says she’s self made? I’m pretty sure she comes from a wealthy French family. She did have the online clothes shop Spotted On Celeb but that would hardly have been set up from nothing. It didn’t get sold either, she said recently she stopped doing it as she wanted to spend more time with kids etc. She is still listed as the sole director of her company on companies house and the website no longer exists. Perhaps she sold the trade and assets to someone else but there’s no way that would pay for her lifestyle. Her husband is a city trader so my guess is a combination of that and family money.
