Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Reportedly Denied Hermes Bag They Wanted to Buy for Daughter North, 12

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West failed to secure the bag for their daughter, North West, according to a source.

In the Thursday, March 5 edition of Amy Odell’s Back Row newsletter, a former employee of the Beverly Hills Hermès boutique revealed that the Skims founder, 45, and the rapper, 48 — who were married from 2014 to 2022 — had a failed shopping mission with the brand when wanting to buy a bag for North, 12, at one point, according to Page Six. 

“Kanye West and Kim Kardashian wanted a Black Mini Kelly bag for North or something like that. And Hermès said no,” the source claimed in the newsletter per Page Six. “I have no idea why, but we were like, ‘Oh, wow.’”

“I think at that point it goes through corporate, because if someone who’s that high profile wants something, then obviously they’re going to be photographed in it — and they don’t want just anyone photographed in it,” the source explained.

“So you’d call the press office and be like, ‘Hey, so and so wants a handbag.’ And they’d usually say, ‘Cool,’” the source shared. “But for some reason they didn’t want North West to have an alligator Mini Kelly.”

While North may not have been able to add the Mini Kelly alligator bag —which can go for $72,000 or more on the resale market — to her collection, she has an impressive collection of Birkins she can borrow from Kim, her aunts and grandma Kris Jenner. 

In 2014, the reality TV star revealed that North actually customized a Birkin bag with her own art.

“Kanye had a box [with an Hermes purse in it] and I opened it up and it was all painted really cool and on my computer was this message that said ‘Play’ and it was a video of my daughter sitting outside painting the purse,” Kardashian told Us Weekly at the time. “I had thought it was this new artist who had painted this purse [but] it was my daughter. It was amazing.”
