"Got our baby's gender results while we were shopping in Paris so we did it at Dior," she began.

The sales assistant then put the correct bag - blue for a boy or pink for a girl, each of which cost over £5,000 - inside a box, and wrapped it up for them.
Once they were back at the hotel, Rachel and her other half sat down to open the box together - revealing the blue bag inside.
"Baby was craving a Dior bag…" she wrote in the caption.
