Former OnlyFans creator and model Lottie Moss has openly disclosed her recent acquisition of counterfeit designer handbags while holidaying in Thailand, marking a significant shift from her previous high-earning career on the adult subscription platform. The 28-year-old, who once reportedly earned a staggering £30,000 per month through OnlyFans, showcased her purchases in a candid TikTok video that has since garnered considerable attention.
From Luxury Campaigns to Counterfeit Markets
In her social media reveal, Lottie displayed three imitation designer bags sourced from local Thai markets. The haul included replicas of a £2,200 Balenciaga Le City bag, an £8,850 Chanel classic flap handbag, and a £950 Louis Vuitton makeup case. This move comes as particularly noteworthy given Lottie's previous professional associations with luxury fashion houses, having modelled for Chanel during their 2016 Paris Cosmopolite show and fronted Karl Lagerfeld's 2017 eyewear campaign for the brand.
Awkward Family Parallels in Luxury Fashion
The situation creates an interesting dynamic with her half-sister, supermodel Kate Moss, who has served as the official face for all three luxury brands mentioned. Kate, 52, played an integral role in the creation of the Balenciaga Le City bag itself, having requested a prototype from then-creative director Nicolas Ghesquière after spotting the slouchy bohemian accessory, ultimately helping to create one of the early 2000s' most iconic fashion items. Kate has also starred in multiple campaigns for Chanel and walked in numerous Louis Vuitton fashion shows throughout her illustrious career.
Enthusiastic Endorsement of Thai Counterfeits
Lottie enthusiastically told her followers: 'We need to have a serious conversation about the Thai fakes. They are so f***ing good, in my opinion. Like, they genuinely look so real, and I'm obsessed.' Holding up the imitation black Chanel quilted handbag, she exclaimed with delight: 'This is my favourite. I've always wanted a Chanel bag, but I'm like, I can't justify spending that much money on a bag. I think this looks really legit. Am I just on crack? I don't know. This, to me, is so good.'
She particularly praised the interior detailing, noting: 'Sometimes... you literally open it and it's that s*** material on the inside, and you're like, okay, well, that is so obvious.' However, not all viewers were impressed, with one follower commenting critically on the video: 'That's a horrendous fake Chanel.'
Detailed Assessment of Each Purchase
Regarding the Louis Vuitton makeup bag replica, Lottie admitted it 'looks a little bit fake' but insisted she didn't mind, adding: 'It's cute, it's pink on the inside. I think the actual ones are red on the inside, but I don't really give a s***.' She explained that the Balenciaga Le City bag imitation was intended for her mother: 'My mum's wanted this for ages, but she was like, "I don't want to buy the real one because it's too expensive". My mum's not really bougie like that, which we love. Humble queen.'
Life After OnlyFans: A Contented Transition
Lottie announced her departure from OnlyFans in February of last year, despite the platform reportedly generating upwards of £30,000 monthly at the peak of her career. She stated at the time: 'I'm growing out of it. I'm becoming a woman. When I'm done, I'm done.' Since walking away from these six-figure earnings, she has expressed contentment with her new career direction, claiming to be 'the happiest I've ever been.'
Navigating Family Dynamics and Financial Background
The model originally joined OnlyFans in 2021 after becoming disillusioned with traditional modelling, where she felt constantly overshadowed by her famous half-sister. Lottie previously admitted: 'When I was modelling, I had tons of comments from people saying, "You don't deserve this - you're never going to be Kate".' While Kate Moss is reportedly worth more than £50 million, Lottie grew up in modest circumstances in Haywards Heath, West Sussex, revealing in 2023: 'I didn't grow up with my sister giving us money. We had a tiny two-bedroom house. My parents were bankrupt.'
Her OnlyFans venture created significant controversy within family circles, with Lottie disclosing that her mother didn't speak to her for weeks after she joined the platform. The decision also caused friction with Kate, though the sisters have maintained a complicated relationship throughout Lottie's life. Despite these familial challenges and her shift away from high-income generating activities, Lottie appears to have found satisfaction in her current path while embracing more affordable luxury alternatives through the counterfeit market.
