From a Viral Joke to a Secret Admirer's Gift: The Full Truth Behind Role Model’s Birkin Bag Story

14:40, August 18

Musician Role Model has decided to set the record straight regarding his long-running stage performance and jokes with fans concerning the iconic Hermès Birkin bags.

The 29-year-old artist addressed questions about his "obsession" with luxury handbags while taking a lie detector test for Vanity Fair.

Throughout the prolonged promotional campaign for his 2026 album Chuck Timely & The Hourglass, the artist joked on stage and across social media that he supposedly needed to sell records exclusively to buy a rare Birkin bag. And in a video posted to TikTok in May, the "Sally, When the Wine Runs Out" hitmaker triumphantly showcased a black model with gold hardware, declaring that he had finally managed to get his hands on one.

"Yes, I have one," he admitted in his Vanity Fair interview. "It’s black, and it was gifted to me." "The joke went too far... I never wanted a Birkin. Literally never. It wasn't real. Do I accidentally own one now? Yes. Did I pay for it? No."

When asked who exactly made him such a generous gift, Role Model replied: "I can't say. I can't. But it was a man. It's always a man."

Additionally, the musician was asked whether he thought Norwegian football star Erling Haaland copied his love for Birkin bags. "No, I don't think he copied me," Role Model answered upon seeing a photo of the footballer with a bag. "Besides, the model he's holding isn't really my style anyway."

Recall that during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Haaland drew widespread attention with his impressive collection of Hermès bags. As noted by content creator and expert Jack Savoie, the Manchester City star openly showcases rare and expensive models. Among others in his collection, according to Savoie, is a rare black-and-orange Birkin 40 with palladium hardware, as well as an Evercalf Toile Cargo Haut A Courroies Birkin 40.
