Kim Kardashian recently faced criticism from fans after listing a rare grey matte alligator Birkin bag for sale on her family's resale site, Kardashian Kloset, for a hefty price of $70,000. The handbag, described as being in 'good condition,' had visible signs of wear and tear, including discoloration on the handles and underside bottom corners, as well as minor scratching on the metal.
Reddit users expressed confusion over the high price tag, with some questioning the Kardashian family's motives for selling second-hand items despite their wealth. Criticisms ranged from the bag's condition to the perceived lack of effort in restoring or properly storing the luxury item before selling it.
Interestingly, a similar Birkin bag in new condition was found available for purchase on a luxury site for $120,875, raising eyebrows about the pricing strategy employed by Kardashian.
This incident is not isolated, as Kardashian has previously listed other high-end handbags on the resale website, including a peacock blue Porosus Crocodile Birkin bag priced at $49,995.00. The listings also included Birkins, Louis Vuitton duffle bags, and items from Chanel, all described as being in 'good condition' with minor wear and tear.
Known for her affinity for Birkin bags, Kardashian has made headlines in the past for carrying some of the most expensive handbags in the world. From a Hermès Himalaya Niloticus Crocodile Diamond Birkin handbag worth over $100,000 to a gray Haut à courroies 'HAC' Birkin bag, her collection has garnered attention for its opulence.
Despite the criticism surrounding the sale of the 'dirty' Hermès purse, Kardashian continues to showcase her luxury handbag collection, inviting both admiration and scrutiny from fans and fashion enthusiasts alike.
