Kim Kardashian marked her 45th birthday with the kind of opulence and camaraderie that befits her celebrity status. Celebrated in the vibrant cities of London and Paris, her milestone was adorned with luxury and the presence of her closest celebrity friends. The reality star and entrepreneur wowed everyone with her choice of designer outfits, each meticulously chosen to hug her figure and capture the attention of fashion aficionados worldwide. Among the highlights of her birthday was a lavish gift from her mother, Kris Jenner, who presented her with not one, but two Hermès Birkin bags.

In the aftermath of her birthday festivities, Kim shared a glimpse into her celebrations through a vlog on TikTok. The Parisian celebrations coincided with the premiere of her new legal drama, All’s Fair, adding an extra layer of excitement to the occasion. The star graced the red carpet in a vintage baby-blue satin Dior gown, capturing the essence of elegance. Her Instagram Stories complemented the glamour with personal touches, showcasing a tower of cakes and an oversized croissant that humorously fooled her into thinking it was yet another cake, alongside beautiful bouquets.

During the vlog, Kim couldn’t contain her delight as she unveiled the thoughtful gifts from Kris. In the comfort of her hotel room, she showcased a stunning red crocodile Hermès Shoulder Birkin, proudly slinging the iconic piece over her shoulder. This particular Birkin, designed by Jean Paul Gaultier during his tenure as Hermès’ creative director, originally debuted in 2004. However, Kim revealed that her gift is an earlier creation from 2001, adding a touch of exclusivity.

Continuing with the unboxing, Kim shared another classic Birkin treasure — a beige Kelly Cut clutch. She enthusiastically remarked to the camera, “You know I love my Kelly Cuts,” expressing her excitement over the dark beige shade, a complement to her collection that already includes a light beige version.

Her enthusiasm for the red Birkin was palpable as she described it as “so rich,” envisioning it paired elegantly with matching red nails. The birthday celebrations, complete with designer extravagance and heartfelt moments, truly encapsulated the spirit of Kim Kardashian’s glamorous life.

Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner got into a heated conflict over a Birkin bag in the past

Kim Kardashian mentioned a past Birkin bag conflict in her Paris birthday vlog. The conflict centered around a Jean Paul Gaultier-designed crocodile Shoulder Birkin. Kim had expressed interest in acquiring the bag. However, during her bar exam studies, she missed a message from a store confirming its availability. Unbeknownst to Kim, Kris purchased the same bag as a birthday gift for Kylie Jenner, who had included it on her wish list. Kim was unaware of this and was shocked to see Kylie post a photo of the bag on social media.

Feeling betrayed, Kim confronted her mother, leading to a heated argument. Kim admitted to becoming “a monster” during the confrontation, pulling out receipts to prove her prior interest in the bag. Fortunately, her sister, Khloé Kardashian, stepped in, having already purchased the same bag for Kim’s upcoming birthday, and gifted it to her early, resolving the issue.

“It is so ridiculous over a bag, but it was my most recent crash out,” Kardashian admitted while talking about the incident on the Call Her Daddy podcast.

Khloé Kardashian also rocked a Hermès bag that garnered significant attention

Kim Kardashian isn’t the only one in the family rocking her Hermès bags in the public eye. In December 2024, People reported that Khloé Kardashian arrived at her XO Khloé perfume launch at Harrods in London wearing a gold, full-length dress. And she accessorized with an Epsom Hermés Mini Kelly handbag in the color Etoupe. The bag retailed for around $33,000 at the time and could barely fit the essentials, making the luxury bag appear all the more frivolous.

Just a few months prior, Khloé was also spotted with a crocodile Hermès Birkin bag in white, and Kim owns the smaller version.
