Julia Fox has told how she fought off a machete attack to hang on to her ultra expensive designer Hermes Birkin bag — appearing incredibly relaxed about the danger she encountered to protect the pricey item.
The Uncut Gems star took to TikTok to show off her luxury grey Hermès bag — which could be worth an eye-watering $45,000 — but had clearly come off from the encounter visibly damaged.
Fox, 32, shared only brief details on the ordeal, before quipping: "You know I was holding on to this Birkin for my life."
She did, however, share makeup free footage of her holding the bag almost downplaying the danger of the ordeal as she explained: "I love her, but she's been through a lot," as she held the desirable item up to show slashes and scratches.
"It's a little hard to see there, but she was actually attacked by a machete," she added.
But despite her ultra relaxed persona, she stressed: ''I'm not kidding — that actually happened to this bag — and me.''
The close up footage showed you can see the knife went into the bag by at least a half and inch or more.
Appearing to still be in shock she recalled: ''I don't know how I f***ing managed to like hold on to this.''
The Hermes Birkin bag is widely considered one of the world's most desirable handbags, according to Madison Avenue Couture, w ith the price ranging from $8,500 to over $300,000 — making it the most expensive bag in fashion history.
The items are custom made and feature a gold-trimmed leather horseshoe stamped on the left side of the Hermes logo, according to Page Six.
The designer handbag lover was clearly keen to hang on to the highly coveted item but fans of the star will recall she does have at least one other similar stashed at home.
Back in February her then-boyfriend Kanye West gifted her a rare black ostrich style with rose gold hardware worth around $45,000.
The 32-year-old actress insisted it was her who pulled the plug on their two month relationship saying she spotted 'red flags'.
She told ES magazine: "It just seems like he had a lot to work on, and I just don't have time for it, or energy. I don't have the bandwidth or emotional capacity for it. I'm proud of myself for that."
The duo's brief romance began over the New Year period as the pair hung out in Miami. By Valentine's Day, their good time had come to an end and shortly after, Julia admitted she had never loved Kanye.
