Bags worth about 800,000 euros were stolen from Sylvie Meis’ home. Violent, but the country’s most important show section RTL Boulevard also points to her naivety. “This is ridiculous.”
There’s never really much pity for bragging stars who are robbed of ridiculously expensive status goods. Over the years, Sylvie Meis has often been criticized for being insensitive to show all the bizarrely expensive bags you have in your closet, while almost 800 million people in the world live in extreme poverty.
Bragging Sylvie
It’s great that you’re wealthy, but do you really have to display that so ostentatiously to the whole world? Sylvie thinks so. She has made entire reports about the bags she has in her clothing room. And that collection has now been expertly taken away by a bunch of crooks.
It shouldn’t be possible, but can’t Sylvie also sing a little lower when it comes to boasting about her luxurious life? Bee RTL Boulevard they think so. Voice-over Jeroen Kijk in de Vegte: “The big question is whether Sylvie, now that she is very scared, will continue to flaunt all her exclusive possessions.”
‘Really shocked’
Reporter Aran Bade reacts as most people in the country react. “Yes, I was really shocked. I leaned back steeply. I also think: eight tons for just actually showing off, that’s actually ridiculous. It suits Sylvie and she has made it her revenue model, but if you look at how vulnerable that actually is…”
Those bags weren’t even under lock and key. “That she just put it on sale for everyone with all those videos and photos on Instagram… We have those photos of that cupboard, don’t we? That she climbs on that cupboard to show those bags. Then you actually give it as a sales brochure to thieves who are watching.”
‘Unexpected’
Sylvie only found out about the theft when she returned home after a short city trip. Her security is therefore not in order. “I actually expected that from Sylvie, who says she is very perfectionist and precise. She is proud to have acquired this and that is why she is showing this, but make sure you secure it well.”
Nikkie Plessen: “They are simply investments. Aran, you say it too, ‘ridiculous’, but major auction houses see these as works of art, because only 200 thousand were made in total. So they are all private orders. To a man it might come across as: why, what are you doing?! But to her they are just her works of art.”
Lavish
Aran understands that, but why do you have to hide your wealth in front of everyone? “It’s a smart investment, I get that, but it’s the excess with Sylvie. That’s also the criticism she often receives, isn’t it? Why do you have to display it all like this? Why are you showing all those bags?”
Bridget Maasland: “You don’t have to show all this, do you?”
In any case, she does not get paid to show those bags, according to Nikkie. “I can say one thing: that is absolutely not true. Hermès gives nothing at all. They don’t even advertise, they don’t do anything.”
Of all time
Ronald Molendijk also has mixed feelings about it, he says to a competitor Show news. “I think it’s just of all times that if people show what they have, there are other people who will come and get it. They used to live in castles and then you also had crooks.”
He continues: “I’ve seen those photos of Sylvie and it seems very clumsy to me. It does not give anyone the right to collect it, but it is also a bit inconvenient when you know that there is a skylight that you can enter right away.”
