This public call-out has sparked conversations about the authenticity of luxury items among Nigerian celebrities and the pressure to maintain a high-fashion image.
The Fashion Police Strike on Iyabo Ojo
The Instagram post by @T20luxury didn’t hold back, meticulously detailing why Iyabo’s bag failed to pass as a genuine Louis Vuitton product.
The account, which has built a reputation for its eagle-eyed analysis of luxury goods, emphasized the differences in craftsmanship, a key marker of authenticity for high-end brands like Louis Vuitton. For instance, the counterfeit bag reportedly lacked the precision in monogram alignment and hardware quality whih the brand is known for.
This is not the first time a celebrity has been called out by such accounts. T20luxury recently called out Kcee for a similar reason, but Iyabo’s case has drawn significant attention due to her prominence in Nollywood and established social media presence.

T20luxury made another post with a collage of the fake and the original versions of the LV Camera Box with the caption;
“To the doubtful ones, Queen Mother’s LV Camera Box was probably gotten from websites like this by her vendor or stylist.
You can see the similarities in the LV Monograms placement.
Swipe to the second slide to see the obvious discrepancies from the real one which retails for $8,800 and that’s almost 14M Naira”
