Summary
A high-profile handbag scandal involving former Sydney stylist Kelly Smythe and real estate star DLeanne Lewis has reached a dramatic resolution — after a Chanel repair revealed the bag’s serial number was fake, Lewis demanded her money back, sparking a legal standoff as Smythe’s company collapsed into liquidation. Initially offering vouchers and a partial refund, Smythe later sent Lewis the final $3,400, ending the dispute — but at the cost of their friendship. Smythe insists she didn’t know the bag was counterfeit, having purchased it through a resale site, while her past prescription fraud charges — dropped on mental health grounds — add another layer to this wild downfall of a once-celebrity stylist.
