Kim Kardashian Dragged for Auctioning Off Her DIRTY OLD Birkin Bag for $70K
Kim Kardashian was hit with backlash after she put a “dirty” Hermes bag up for sale with a jaw-dropping $70k price tag.
The Kardashians star listed the matte gray alligator Birkin bag in “good condition” on her family’s resale platform, Kardashian Kloset. The written description of the rare piece seemingly contradicted the listing, stating that there was “some discoloration on handles and underside bottom corners, and minor scratching on metal.”
Reddit users roasted the 43-year-old reality star for pricing the bag high, despite its noticeably brown handles.
One user wrote — “Seriously how desperate are they for money? And why does no one find it strange that these ‘billionaires’ are selling their second hand clothes? 😭”
Another person chimed in “70 k for a dirty bag, holy hell!”
A third asked — “This is so embarrassing. Why don’t they get it restored by H before selling it?”
One critic said — “The nerve to list at that price with all of the discolouration in the handles and wear & tear on the bottom and lower corners…. sKam artists.”
Another user pointed out — “The hardware is all scuffed and dull, the edges are worn and slightly frayed, and it’s discolored from makeup/tanner. Just wow. Anyone who buys this from them is an idiot, they can’t even be bothered to restore it or have it stored properly. Is this even a real piece? They really have no shame!”
The same designer bag in new condition is available on luxury website, 1stdibs for a whopping $120,875.00, a figure that puts Kardashian’s asking price into perspective.
Kardashian has used her famous clan’s resale site to market several high-end handbags. Earlier this month, the Skims founder listed a peacock blue Porous Crocodile Birkin bag for $49,995.00. The pricey purse, which was listed in “good condition,” featured “palladium hardware and double handles” with “Twist lock and lock & key closure.” The Skkn mogul also listed two additional Birkins as well as several Louis Vuitton duffle bags and various Chanel items.
Last summer, Kardashian toted a Hermès Himalaya Niloticus Crocodile Diamond Birkin bag, known as the “world’s most expensive handbag” to a soccer game in Japan. The luxury handbag typically costs more than $100k.
In November, Kardashian was snapped carrying an oversized gray “HAC” Birkin bag while in New York City on business.
