London, Dec 17 (ANI): Tamara Ecclestone insists that her handbag collection and designer shoes are frightfully canny investments.
The 27-year-old owns handbags worth 200,000 pounds and a 70,000 pounds shoe portfolio.
"I have no idea how much it all cost, but the Hermes bags are an investment," the Daily Mail quoted her as saying.
"If I auctioned them tomorrow I'd get all my money back, if not more," she said.
The elder daughter of F1 mogul Bernie Ecclestone also admitted that there are some things that money can't buy.
"Things aren't great for me all the time. There are things money can't buy... I'm not perfect. I'm human, too," the Daily Mail quoted her as saying.
The socialite hoped that her documentary would counter "misconceptions" about her being a vacuous "party princess" with more money than sense.
"The thing is that I thought if people watched my show they would see there's a lot more to me than just money; that people would warm to me. So many people have said to me: "You are such a nice person, we love your charity work," she said.
"Things aren't great for me all the time. There are things money can't buy and it definitely exposed all of me as a person. I'm not perfect. I'm human, too. Only today I got a Twitter message from a girl who said: "Take away your father's money and you'd be just like me.
"My parents say I am a people-pleaser. I want everyone to like me. People assume the worst before they meet me and then say: "Oh, you're nothing like I imagined," she said.
Besides, she insists that she does set herself limits, such as resisting the 70,000 pounds Hermes Himalayan two-tone crocodile bag, which is so rare only Victoria Beckham has been seen carrying one.
She also revealed that she likes to haggle over the designer items she buys.
"God, my parents love a deal. They still ask for discounts and I do, too," she said.
"Most of the time if you ask people you will get a discount and that makes you feel better.
"I am a bit of a hoarder. My mum is always telling me: "If you haven't worn it for a season, you probably aren't ever going to wear it again." I've been working increasingly closely with Great Ormond Street so I sat down with my stylist and we came up with this and I thought: "Good idea".
"I don't think I should have to apologise for my dad being successful.
"As we expand, we will add shoes, bags and coats. There's always going to be more to add to the pile.
"If I wear anything a couple of times and I've been photographed at a big event, I won't be able to wear it again," she added. (ANI)
