Kim Kardashian is getting backlash for listing a ‘dirty’ Hermès Birkin bag on her family’s resale website, called Kardashian Kloset.
The SKIMS founder, 43 — who has a number of unique Hermès bags in her collection — is asking for $70K for the rare grey matte alligator purse, which was listed as in ‘good condition.’
However, a further description of the handbag adds that there is ‘some discoloration on handles and underside bottom corners, and minor scratching on metal.’
The description also specifies that the bag does not come with a CITES certificate – a document needed when you plan to travel with a bag or accessory that is made out of exotic leather, which includes alligator.
Fans quickly took issue with the billionaire trying to resell a used bag, with one person on Reddit writing, ‘Seriously how desperate are they for money?’

Another person added, ‘This is so embarrassing. Why don’t they get it restored by H before selling it?’
‘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,’ someone else added.
The comments continued, with yet another user writing: ’70 k for a dirty bag, holy hell!’
‘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 kind of people who have 70k to spend on a bag, wouldn’t they just buy a brand new one? If you have 70k to spend on a bag why would you want second hand Kardashian bags?’
ɱaпy wondered about the brown discoloration on the handles, with one fan asking, ‘Is that from her tanner spray?’
‘That’s very dirty,’ another fan quipped.
‘Is this even real?’ one person wondered.

However, the $70K price tag may not be the worst deal, as similar bags in new condition can be found for $120,000.
The mother-of-four recently showcased her extravagant purse collection housed in her $60 million Hidden Hills, California ɱaпsion. She’s now selling several luxury handbags on a resale website, including a peacock blue Porosus Crocodile Birkin priced at $49,995. Among her listings are other coveted Birkins, as well as Louis Vuitton duffle bags and Chanel pieces. Kim has been frequently seen flaunting various Birkins over the years, including a $110,000 Hermès Birkin last November and a rare $300,000 Diamond Himalaya Niloticus crocodile Birkin in Japan last July. Notably, in 2020, she carried a custom Hermès Birkin tote featuring a nude painting by renowned artist George Condo, a gift from her former husband Kanye West.
