Kim Kardashian celebrated her 45th birthday in true A-list fashion. She was surrounded by luxury and loved ones at her glamorous parties in London and Paris, which were attended by her close celebrity friends. Dressed in figure-hugging designer looks that instantly made headlines, Kim pulled out all the stops for her big day in October 2025. And so did Kris Jenner, as she gifted her daughter two Hermès Birkin bags to celebrate the occasion.

Kim Kardashian posted a TikTok about receiving 2 Hermès Birkin bags from her mother, Kris Jenner

Kim Kardashian posted a vlog to TikTok following her 45th birthday celebrations in Paris. The festivities coincided with the Paris premiere of her new legal drama, All’s Fair, and kicked off with the star stepping out in a vintage baby-blue satin gown by Dior at the red-carpet event. Her Instagram Stories captured personal touches that softened the glitz. She had a tower of cakes, a massive croissant she initially mistook for cake, and heartfelt bouquets.

In the vlog, Kim discussed the sweet gifts her mother, Kris Jenner, got her. She pulled out a red crocodile Hermès Shoulder Birkin while in her hotel room and immediately displayed it on her shoulder. Jean Paul Gaultier crafted the bag originally, which Kim mentions in the TikTok. According to Page Six, he created the design in 2004 and served as the Hermès creative director until 2010. However, Kim notes that her red Birkin is from 2001.

Following the red crocodile Birkin reveal, Kim unwraps another Birkin classic. “You know I love my Kelly Cuts,” she said to the person holding the camera, referring to the Birkin clutch. “She got me a beige one — a dark beige one. I have a light beige one.”

She continued to rave about the red Birkin bag, calling it “so rich” and claiming she’d wear it with a red nail to match.

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.
