CuriousByNature Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Maybe it comes with $109,900 inside it. samhexum, pubic_assistance, BSR and 2 others 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather the opposite effect that Ms.Kardashian is likely going for in her public image. samhexum, thomas and liubit 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather the opposite effect that Ms.Kardashian is likely going for in her public image. The purchase blasted her name and photo all over the Internet for the zillionth time. Kim didn't pay six figures for a bag, she paid six figures for some (more) attention. Without hype, the Kardashians are nothing.

SouthOfTheBorder Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 LOL - love them, hate them or don’t care anything about them, the Kardashians have monetized the family in such a way that there are at least two billionaires among them. It’s wealth on a completely different level. It didn’t happen overnight and it didn’t happen by accident. I’m not a fan & never watched their shows, yet I can appreciate their success. Their brand is outrageous over-the-top expensive ….of course she’s going to have bags like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ Pensant Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Just another sign of decadence and the adoration of the grotesque. + azdr0710, pubic_assistance and thomas 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are American capitalism embodied. I don’t think anyone can blame them though - they just figured out the formula.

CuriousByNature Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 That bag is 'worth' $150K Canadian. For $150K a person can provide safe shelter and a hot meal to ten homeless people for more than a year. But I suppose you can't wear that on your arm. + Pensant, pubic_assistance, wsc and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucky Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 That gorgeous bag will last a decade. I know guys who spend that much on escorts every couple years and have no place for their lipstick. thomas, + nycman, mike carey and 3 others 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, with her $, I'm sure she'll last a lot longer than a decade. + nycman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wsc Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Aside from the cost, if you need a bag that big to carry your shit around, stay home; your supply chain needs are off the chart. samhexum and BSR 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that it is likely she did not pay anything for it and just as likely that she was paid to walk around with it. American consumers are sheep and so companies feed the lead sheep and slaughter the ones that follow. samhexum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ DynamicUno Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 The photo shows rather unattractive and dated looking bag, and the Birkin doesn't look that good either. samhexum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
