Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Denied Hermes Bag for Daughter North
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s attempt to buy a luxury Hermès bag for their daughter, North West, was unsuccessful, according to recent reports. This incident, highlighted in the March 5 edition of Amy Odell’s Back Row newsletter, details a shopping trip at the prestigious Beverly Hills Hermès boutique.
Failed Attempt to Purchase the Hermès Bag
A former employee of Hermès disclosed that the celebrity couple sought a Black Mini Kelly bag for their 12-year-old daughter but were denied. The source stated, “Kanye West and Kim Kardashian wanted a Black Mini Kelly bag for North, and Hermès said no.” The reasoning for the refusal remains unclear.
Reason Behind the Denial
The insider explained that such high-profile requests typically go through corporate channels. They noted that if a well-known individual expresses interest in a product, it draws attention from the media. “They don’t want just anyone photographed with it,” the former employee remarked.
- Celebrity Influence: High-profile clients can attract media coverage.
- Press Office Coordination: Usually, requests are communicated to the press office.
- Special Considerations: Unclear reasons can lead to unexpected refusals.
North West’s Existing Collection
Even though North was unable to acquire the coveted Mini Kelly alligator bag, which can retail for $72,000 or more on resale platforms, she still has access to an impressive collection of Hermès Birkins. These bags come from her mother and extended family, including aunts and grandmother Kris Jenner.
A Unique Birkin Bag
In a past revelation, Kim Kardashian shared that North customized her own Birkin bag. In 2014, she recounted an emotional moment when Kanye gifted her a canvas painted by their daughter. “It was amazing,” Kardashian said, expressing pride in North’s creativity.
This incident showcases not only the challenges of celebrity shopping but also highlights North West’s unique connection to luxury fashion, despite the recent setback with Hermès. As the daughter of two high-profile figures, North’s experiences in the fashion world continue to captivate public interest.
