Famous Skims founder and reality TV star Kim Kardashian recently attended a Los Angeles Lakers game with her son, Saint West. However, it was not his court appearance that caught everyone’s attention; It was her favorite accessory – a luxurious Hermès Birkin bag.
Wearing a casual yet chic ensemble consisting of a tight white tee and leather pants, Kim inadvertently sparked controversy when her precious Birkin bag was seen placed carelessly on the floor next to her. The bag was valued at thousands of dollars, becoming a focal point for fans and spectators.
Although the exact price of Kim’s Birkin has not been disclosed, similar designs are currently fetching amazing prices, with one being listed for resale on Sotheby’s website for a staggering $40,000.
Seeing such an expensive item lying on the ground left fans disappointed, who expressed their disappointment on social media platforms. A flood of comments followed, with one person expressing disbelief at the careless placement of a bag costing more than most people’s annual rent. Others expressed similar sentiments, labeling the act “disgusting” and “insane”, and emphasizing the importance of respecting luxury items like the Birkin.
Kim Kardashian’s unintentional mistakes are a reminder of the societal reverence placed on luxury goods and the expectations associated with their care and management, even in a casual setting like a basketball game.
As the debate continues online, Kim’s Birkin debacle has sparked a conversation about the intersection of wealth, status symbols, and social etiquette in the public eye.
