During a recent Los Angeles Lakers game, Kim Kardashian was spotted courtside with her son, Saint West, carrying her iconic Hermès Birkin bag. The attention-grabbing accessory, known for its luxury and high price tag, caused quite a stir among fans.
While Kardashian opted for a casual outfit of a white tee and leather pants, all eyes were on her Birkin bag, which was casually placed on the floor next to her. The exact price of the bag remains unknown, but similar crocodile leather Birkin bags are being resold for up to $40,000.
Some fans expressed their dismay at seeing such an expensive item placed on the ground, with one commenter noting that the bag costs more than most people's yearly rent. Others found it shocking and unacceptable to see a Birkin bag treated in such a manner.
Despite the controversy, Kardashian, who achieved billionaire status in 2021, is known for her collection of Birkin bags. She has been seen carrying Birkin bags worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and has even faced criticism for reselling older models at high prices.
Notably, Kardashian's daughter, North West, also owns a miniature version of the coveted Birkin bag, valued at $10,000. This comes as no surprise, as North West was previously gifted a Hermès purse to paint on as a present for her mother.
Kardashian is not the only celebrity known for her love of Birkin bags. Jennifer Lopez, who was also present at the Lakers game with her family, has been seen carrying her own $200,000 Himalayan Birkin bag, showcasing the enduring popularity and luxury status of these iconic accessories.
