LAURA CRAIK on Kylie Jenner’s £1.7million of Hermes bags… and counting!
Until recently, Kylie Jenner’s favorite accessory was her boyfriend Timothee Chalamet.
But now the beauty mogul has revealed a different kind of arm candy: a collection of Hermes bags worth £1.7 million or more.
Jenner, 28, thought to be worth £500 million, unveiled her ‘Birkin Wall’ on Instagram, with shelves full of bag versions named after actress Jane Birkin.
She posted pictures of herself in her walk-in wardrobe, wearing a balconette bra, low-rise trousers and a Louboutin, and wrote: ‘Can’t a girl have fun?’
His hoard consists of various sizes and types, with one thought to be worth £222,000.
Even Victoria Beckham, who is said to be close to 100, looks stingy in comparison.
The basic bag costs £10,000 or more depending on size (special editions set you back much further, of course) and is a favorite of Kate Moss and Dua Lipa.

Opinions among Ms Jenner’s 390 million Instagram followers were divided, with one post saying: ‘A row of these bags could end hunger on the east coast.’
Animal rights group PETA posted: ‘The Birkin wall is a graveyard.’
But his collecting is more than a hobby; It’s an investment.
Now that he’s showing it to the world, let’s hope he’s insured.
