Kim Kardashian, a 42-year-old reality star, was seen with the exceptionally rare Himalayan Birkin bag during the Al-Nassr vs. Paris Saint-Germain game in Osaka, Japan on Tuesday, July 25. The bag, made of smooth crocodile skin, showcases a stylish white pattern with elegant brown lining, small handles, and exquisite silver embellishments. Kim attended the game accompanied by her son Saint West, whom she co-parents with her ex-husband Kanye West.

The Kardashian bag, made from crocodile skin, is estimated to be worth between $200,000 and $600,000, based on its condition. It is important to note that a bag resembling this one was sold for an astounding $300,168 at auction in 2016. The scarcity of Himalayan Birkin bags can be attributed to their limited production and the requirement for customers to have a prior relationship with the fashion house before being granted the opportunity to purchase one.

To complement her prized accessory, Kardashian wore a cream-colored bodysuit and matched it with motocross pants in the same shade. Adding a pop of color, she opted for royal blue heels. In terms of her glam look, she sported a sleek high ponytail, winged eyeliner, glossy lips, and long lashes. Choosing to let the bag take center stage, Kardashian decided to forgo any additional jewelry.

Kardashian has been seen showing off her Birkin bag collection multiple times. In 2014, she was photographed carrying a Hermès purse that was specially painted by her daughter North West. She revealed that her ex-husband Kanye surprised her with the unique gift, which came with a video of their daughter painting the bag.

It's not just Kardashian who has a passion for these luxurious bags. Her sisters also boast impressive collections. Kylie Jenner, for instance, showcased her stunning purse closet in a YouTube video back in 2018. She particularly highlighted her adoration for the Hermès row, expressing her love for the brand and referring to her white and gray crocodile skin Birkin bag as something she would save if her house were to catch fire.

Mom Kris Jenner recently gave Kylie, who is 25, a special Birkin bag worth $100,000 as a birthday gift in August 2022. Kylie received and expressed her excitement about the gift while on a yacht, stating that she had never seen anything like it before. The mini-bag, featuring an orange body with white and tan details and gold hardware, is a rare edition with only three in existence. During her examination of the purse, Kylie shared her admiration for it. In June, the actress and inspiration behind the Birkin bag, Jane Birkin, passed away at the age of 76. Hermès drew inspiration from her in 1991 after the late chairman, Jean-Louis Dumas, noticed her struggling with items falling out of her bag due to its poor structure during a flight from Paris to London. As a result, Dumas designed the iconic accessory and named it after her.

Three years later, the French fashion house created a bespoke handbag specifically for Birkin. She proudly showcased the handbag for several years, until she made the decision in July 2015 to request that the luxury brand disassociate her name from the design. This was due to her concerns regarding the inhumane treatment of crocodiles during the process of producing Hermès handbags. In a statement during that time, she expressed her desire for Hermès to discontinue associating her name with the Birkin Croco until more ethical practices aligned with international standards could be implemented.
