Kim Kardashian Put Her $50K+ Birkin Bag on the Floor at a Basketball Game — and Her Fans Are Freaking

Kim Kardashian’s Birkin bags are always generating buzz.

While it’s not unusual to see the Kardashians star, 43, with an Hermès hanging from her arm, she raised some eyebrows at the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Golden State Warriors game on March 16 for putting her luxe purse on the floor.

Photos show the mogul seated courtside next to 8-year-old son Saint West, who she shares with ex Kanye West, while her brown Hermès Birkin crocodile-print bag rests on the ground. A nearly identical style is currently reselling for $55,900 on Sotheby’s website.

Fans were perplexed by how Kardashian casually left the collectible — named after the late famous model and actress, Jane Birkin — by her feet. Birkin styles can retail anywhere between $10,000 to $2 million.

“Birkin on the floor is insane,” one user wrote under a photo of Kardashian at the sporting event shared to Instagram. “I would NOT put that Birkin on the floor,” another added. 

She did however, pick the bag up for a brief moment to adjust the straps (see the photo below).

In November, the SKIMS founder was spotted toting around a massive gray Haut A Courroies 50cm Birkin style while out in New York City. At the time she styled her bag with casual streetwear looks — a black drawstring jumpsuit on Nov. 29 and a maroon sweat set on Nov. 30 — layered under fur coats.

Kardashian clearly knows the value of a Birkin because last July, she was seen carrying a rare design worth over $100,000 to a soccer match between Al-Nassr and Paris Saint-Germain in Osaka, Japan.

Kardashian hasn’t disclosed exactly how many Birkin bags she has, but her past closet selfies, like this one, show that she does in fact have a closet dedicated to the legacy pieces.
