The Kardashians are the topic of controversy once more. But this time, it’s not about wild conspiracy theories or Kim’s recent, horribly rated show.
In the latest controversy, Ireland Baldwin slams Kim Kardashian for carrying a Hermès Birkin bag reportedly made from elephant skin in her new TV show, All’s Fair.
In character as Allura Grant in the Hulu legal drama, which was one of the worst shows upon release, Kim Kardashian, 45, was seen posing with the rare luxury accessory, paired with a grey hooded dress. One viral clip caught the attention of 30-year-old Baldwin, who called the move “disgusting and shameful.”
Baldwin, daughter of Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger, wrote on her Instagram Stories: “This is so disgusting and shameful,” and added, “Don’t understand how these people are supported the way they are.”
According to PETA, Hermès reportedly made the bag for a custom-made order for a client in the 1980s, though the origin of the leather remains unclear. However, the custom order for the client had brought elephant hide from a hunting safari. While the bag company never officially sold elephant leather bags to customers, many believe that they used elephant leather that was from the hunt.
When luxury expert Daniel Wesson shared a post on Instagram about Kardashian’s character, users were shocked.
One user responded to the post saying, “Ick and of course she owns one. This family has no class or shame.” Many other users are questioning, “Where do you draw the line?”
However, some responded in support of the usage of the bag, saying that “its already made,” and adding, “I don’t support hunting at all, but she didn’t personally request this bag.”
The Kardashian-Jenner family is known for their extensive Birkin bag collections. In 2024, Kardashian put her peacock blue Porosus Crocodile Birkin for sale on her family’s Kardashian Kloset site, asking for a large $49,995 for the purse.
