In an exclusive peek inside her opulent $60 million mansion, reality TV star Kim Kardashian showcased her extensive Balenciaga purse collection during a recent “closet campaign.” The 43-year-old, known for her high-profile relationships and fashion-forward lifestyle, posed in a black strapless corset paired with skintight leggings and boots within her handbag sanctuary.
The video captured Kim Kardashian discussing her vast purse collection with her crew, estimating she owned around 130 purses. With a meticulous count, she discovered she had 128 purses and joyfully realized she had a previously uncounted black model, bringing her grand total to 129.
‘I was only one off,’ she exclaimed, exuding happiness during the Balenciaga-themed closet tour. In one of the shots, Kim was spotted lying on the platform of her purse closet, surrounded by bags, dressed in a beige top and black leggings. The caption read, ‘Balenciaga #closetcampaign @inezandvanoodt.’
The Balenciaga purses, each costing approximately $3,000, amounted to nearly $400,000 in the room. This staggering figure nearly matches the average cost of a home in the United States.
This extravagant display comes on the heels of Kim Kardashian’s recent announcement that she has become an ambassador for Balenciaga. Fans were quick to express their discontent, especially since the fashion house faced controversy just a year ago for an advert featuring children and BDSM items.
Despite the backlash, Kim Kardashian defended her decision, stating in an Instagram post, ‘For several years now, Balenciaga’s designs have been a part of my many looks—and some of my most iconic fashion moments. This historic fashion house embraces modernity and craftsmanship and takes an innovative approach to design under Demna.’
She continued, ‘For me, this long-standing relationship is built on mutual trust and a commitment to doing what’s right. I’m excited about this next chapter for the brand and to become their ambassador.’
Fans criticized Kim for choosing a brand that has faced child abuse allegations in the past. Some labeled her a ‘hypocrite,’ accusing her of prioritizing money over morals. However, Kardashian seemed undeterred by the negative feedback, as she shifted focus to promoting her SKIMS Valentine’s Day campaign in playful pink outfits with cherry prints.
In a world where controversies and endorsements often collide, Kim Kardashian remains a polarizing figure, unapologetically navigating the realms of fashion and fame.
