According to the parent, who was in total disbelief, the high-end designer purchase had cost her an eye-watering $600 - or close to an astronomical £500.
Confronting her daughter, who was proudly showing off the nude tote bag, Stormy explained that ''no seven-year-old has a $600 purse'' - to which the kid hit back saying she wasn't ''like them''.
''I'm not cheap like that,'' the young fashionista, who was dubbed ''spoilt'' by people online, explained.
''What do you mean, you're not cheap like them? You don't have the money to buy a $600 purse! That's mine - my money!'' the shocked mum yelled back.
