Real Housewives of Durban star Sorisha Naidoo had fans in stitches after sharing a playful and over-the-top “guide” on how to land the ultimate luxury accessory — the Hermès Birkin bag. Spoiler alert: it involves manifestation, meditation, and, most importantly, making a significant purchase at Hermès.
The moment, posted by Showmax on social media, quickly went viral. With a perfectly straight face and comedic delivery, Sorisha teased viewers with her mock tutorial:
“Firstly, every morning I would wake up and I’d have a manuscript, and every day I would write, ‘I would like a Birkin’ — and I would do that 70 to 80 times,” she began.
But the drama didn’t stop there.
“Then I would go outside in my garden, ground myself, meditate, and visualise that Birkin in my hand,” she said.
And finally, she dropped the real tea:
“So, I did this for quite a while, but then seriously and a very serious step, I realised that I had to buy stuff from Hermes to get that Birkin.”
Her “Birkin checklist” included:
-
Watches
-
Sneakers
-
Heels
-
Cutlery
-
A few non-Birkin Hermes bags
Eventually, she said, “They’ll say to you, ‘You are Birkin worthy. Ta-da!’”
Seven-Year Wait for the Bag
On a past episode of Real Housewives of Durban, Sorisha revealed that it actually took her seven years to secure her coveted Birkin — further proving just how elusive the status symbol can be.
Jojo Robinson Joins the Fun
Fellow RHOD castmate Jojo Robinson couldn’t resist poking fun in the comment section:
“@sorishanaidoo but do you have a heated indoor pool? 37°, sometimes 39°. I set the temp on my phone… just sayin… The construction place only let me build the indoor pool because I already had an outdoor pool, steam room in my spa, gym, movie theatre and jacuzzi… twinsies…”
To which Sorisha responded with love:
“@mrs.jojo.robinson Love you. Jo, come visit my mall when you are free.”
And she means it literally — Sorisha and her billionaire husband Vivian Reddy own Oceans Mall in Umhlanga, Durban, a luxury shopping hub that aligns perfectly with her ultra-glam lifestyle.
