Marie Chantal of Greece

[violante]

Has anyone noticed that MC and other socialites don´t seem to have handbags from Gucci and Vuitton any more. Probably because they are so much copied and mostly you can´t see what is false or not.
Am I right? MC seems to favour for example Bottega Veneta and other brands (which I don´t know).

[Rachel]

I've also noticed that she carries a Hermes Birkin bag sometimes.

The reason she doesn't carry the logo stuff could indeed be b/c it's copied so much - when I see someone w/ a Louis Vuition or Fendi bag I just naturally assume it's fake.

What designers does she like to wear? So far I can tell she likes Valentino and de al Rental a lot (especially Valentino!).

[violante]

Yes, she said in the interview with Harper´s Bazaar last spring that she had bought 3 Hermes Birkins.
The feathery purse she had at the Valentino spring show some weeks ago was really a strange choise.Didn´t go very well with her outfit.

Rachel,
MC:s favourite labels beside Valentino are for example: Chloe, St Laurent and Prada.Shoes: Laboutin,Prada and Manolo Blahnik. She often buys her jeans at Scoop in New York. This is what she said herself in the Harper´s Bazaar interview last year.

Amelia,

Excuse me I was wrong at one point, according to herself ,MC bought TWO crocodile Hermes Birkins, one in brown and one in ivory tones (but I suppose that two in crocodile cost at least as much as three in ordinary leather

Do the Glucksbergs actually have any money of their own or are they completely supported by Marie Chantal's father?

[violante]

They are also supported to some extent by the danish roylal family .

[Clara]

That's pretty nice of the Danish - I suppose it's b/c Anne Marie is Margarethe's sister? Do the Spanish support them as well?

Marie Chantal's lucky to have so much money - I wish I could shop like that. I'd kill to have one of those birkin bags - they're so nice.

Gah! Why couldn't I have been born rich?

[Jays]

How large is the Miller chalet in Gstaad? Like, 8 bedrooms?

[violante]

It has at least rooms for the ex-king of Greece his wife and one of their children and the whole of Pavlos family.

[Rachel]

It must be pretty big - do they all stay there? B/c I know that some of the trips it's been Constantine, Anne Marie, Pavlos/MC/Kids, Theodora, and Phillipos - and this past trip I think Nikolas and his GF were also there...although you never see Alexia along, too. Also...you figure they don't go alone. They have at least one nanny (w/ 4 kids, probably 2) and ppl to wait on them - I mean, i doubt they make their own food and pick up after themselves.
