Kim Kardashian roasted for selling her ‘dirty’ Birkin bag for $70K: ‘How desperate are they for money?’
Keeping up with the Kardashians just became a little more interesting.
Kim Kardashian was roasted by fans for selling her “dirty” Hermès purse for $70,000 on her family’s resale site after the Skims mogul posted the rare grey matte alligator Birkin bag on Kardashian Kloset, which was listed in “good condition.”
However, a description of the handbag on the website read that there was “some discoloration on handles and underside bottom corners, and minor scratching on metal.”
Fans on Reddit were confused why Kardashian, 43, would sell the bag at such a high price when the handles were visibly turning brown.
“Seriously how desperate are they for money? And why does no one find it strange that these ‘billionaires’ are selling their second hand clothes? 😭” wrote one user.
“70 k for a dirty bag, holy hell!” added another.
“This is so embarrassing. Why don’t they get it restored by H before selling it?” asked a third fan.
“The nerve to list at that price with all of the discolouration in the handles and wear & tear on the bottom and lower corners…. sKam artists,” said a fourth Reddit user.
A fifth fan commented: “The hardware is all scuffed and dull, the edges are worn and slightly frayed, and it’s discolored from makeup/tanner. Just wow. Anyone who buys this from them is an idiot, they can’t even be bothered to restore it or have it stored properly. Is this even a real piece? They really have no shame!”

However, the five-figure price tag may actually be a dirty deal; the same style is available to purchase in new condition on luxury site 1stdibs for $120,875.
Kardashian has listed several of her pricey handbags on her family’s resale website.
Earlier this month, the mom of four also listed a peacock blue Porosus Crocodile Birkin bag from her “coveted collection” for a whopping $49,995.00.
Per the website, the designer tote featured “palladium hardware and double handles” with “Twist lock and lock & key closure.”
The Birkin bag was listed in “good condition” with minor wear and tear.
The “Kardashians” star also put two other Birkins up for sale, along with several Louis Vuitton duffle bags and items from Chanel.
The Skkn founder is known for her love of Birkins.
Last summer, she brought the “world’s most expensive handbag” — a Hermès Himalaya Niloticus Crocodile Diamond Birkin handbag that costs more than $100,000 (and estimated to be worth $380,000) to a soccer game in Japan.
And in November, Kardashian toted a massive gray Haut à courroies “HAC” Birkin bag as she headed to business meetings in New York City.
