The newest Real Housewife of Miami, Stephanie Shojaee, is clapping back at critics who slammed her luxury spending habits — especially when it comes to her jaw-dropping Birkin collection.
Appearing on the Virtual Reali-Tea podcast, Stephanie made it clear that she has zero regrets about investing in her bags over babies.
“I am investing,” she firmly stated, noting that she’s built her collection in “slow installments.”
ICYMI: Stephanie previously caught heat from RHOM watchers for flaunting her wealth while also expressing no desire to spend money on children.
But as she puts it, it’s Birkins over boogers — and she’s not sorry about it.
Stephanie’s Birkin collection is reportedly worth over $1 million, with several pieces ranging from $60,000 to $80,000 — including rare crocodile-skin creations and styles adorned with diamond-encrusted hardware.
But perhaps the most impressive flex? She’s never bought secondhand.
“It’s not like you can go in and buy a bunch of [Birkins],” she explained. “The thing I’m proud of the most is that I have never once bought a secondhand Birkin. Every single Birkin has been through Hermès at an Hermès store.”
For the uninitiated, buying a Birkin isn’t just about money — it’s about access.
These coveted bags can’t simply be picked off a shelf. You need a relationship with the brand, and Stephanie says she’s built connections with Hermès boutiques around the globe to make her luxury dreams a reality.
Stephanie and her husband, Masoud Shojaee, run the Miami-based real estate development firm Shoma Group — so it’s safe to say the power couple isn’t hurting for cash.
But as for her appearance on the show? We’ll let the Taste Buds weigh in.
