The talk show queen was reportedly eyeing the rare crocodile version of Tom Ford’s Jennifer crossbody bag, named after actress Jennifer Aniston and valued at 35,000 Swiss francs, $38,000 American.
The offense continued, “‘No, no, no. You don’t want to see that one. You want to see this one because that one will cost too much and you will not be able to afford that.’ No, I really did want to see that one.’ And she refused to get it!”
The salesclerk tried directing Oprah’s attention to “these other little bags.” “One more time, I tried. I said, ‘But I really do just want to see that one.’ And she said, ‘Oh, I don’t want to hurt your feelings. Okay, thank you so much. You’re probably right. I can’t afford it.’ And I walked out of the store.”
The bag has since been sold.
