Kim Kardashian Signs Fan's $45,000 Hermès Birkin Bag in Shanghai
The reality star described the act as 'blasphemous' before autographing the luxury handbag at a Skims event.
Kim Kardashian autographed a fan's Hermès Birkin bag for a reported $45,000 value during a Skims event in Shanghai. The moment was captured in Instagram footage shared by WWD.
As seen in the video, Kardashian was handed a metallic gold pen and asked to sign the red crocodile-embossed Birkin 35 bag. "This feels illegal," Kardashian quipped before signing, adding, "Oh my God. This feels blasphemous."
A similar bag with palladium hardware is listed for $44,500 by luxury reseller Madison Avenue Couture. The fan's bag featured gold hardware.
Commenters on social media reacted to the signing, with one user stating, "This is so so so insane." Another joked about the potential resale value, suggesting, "Imagine if it’s a fake Birkin and he ends up selling it for thousands just because Kim’s signature is on it." A third commenter observed, "He knows what he is doing. The value just went up. Wise man."
Kardashian's family, including her mother Kris Jenner, is known to have an extensive collection of Hermès Birkin and Kelly bags. Kris Jenner appears to own a bag identical to the one signed by Kim Kardashian.
