Kim Kardashian has sparked backlash after listing a 'worn' Hermès Birkin bag on her family's resale platform, Kardashian Kloset.
The 43-year-old SKIMS founder, known for her extensive collection of luxury bags, is seeking $70K for the rare grey matte alligator purse, described as being in 'good condition' despite indications of wear such as discoloration on handles and minor scratches on metal.
Critics swiftly took aim at Kardashian's attempt to resell a used bag, questioning the motivation behind it. One Reddit user commented, 'Seriously how desperate are they for money?' while another expressed embarrassment, suggesting the bag should have been restored before resale.
Additional remarks echoed these sentiments, with users questioning the hefty price tag for a bag showing signs of wear and tear, and expressing disbelief at the decision not to have it restored properly. Speculation arose regarding the cause of discoloration on the handles, with some humorously suggesting it could be from tanning spray.
Despite the controversy, the $70K price tag may not be the most extravagant, considering similar bags in pristine condition command prices upwards of $120,000.
This incident adds to Kardashian's history of showcasing her lavish purse collection, including rare Birkins worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, further fueling the fascination surrounding these iconic bags and their role as symbols of status and wealth in popular culture.
