Kim Kardashian is back at it again, reminding everyone how wealthy she is, and a bit disconnected from the rest of society.
The "KUWTK" alum and her family launched the Kardashian Kloset — an online store where their die-hard fans can directly shop some of their luxury designer pieces — in a bid to be relatable and probably accessible.
However, the online store seems to give the exact opposite of relatable, with super weird items that have the most absurd and ridiculous price tags. Take a look at some of the priciest items Kim has in her "Kloset."
Kim Kardashian Selling Used Clothing Online, With Ridiculous Prices
1. A $10,000 Chanel Sweater With STAINS?!
First on the list is a Vintage Chanel Sweater that retails for a whopping $9,495. The sweater is a pink wooly material from the famous Parisian fashion house with four pockets. That's it! Nothing more, nothing less! But it goes for almost $10,000. Why? Who would buy this?
A description of the piece on the website reads, "EXTREMELY RARE limited edition style: Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel S/S 1996 runway; Bubblegum pink velour, collarless cardigan sweater with CC logo burnout debossing, pink and silver-tone metal CC buttons, and front pockets; Snap button closure."
Even with the heavy price tag, Kim warns that her "Rare" sweater has "minor staining on sleeves, a few buttons have minor cracks but are still functional, and there is pilling on inside lining." If it has all these issues, why still try to sell it for such a high price? Are you buying?
2. This Boring White Jumpsuit Initially Cost $12,000
The next item on the list is a Vintage Versace Mare Jumpsuit. One would think such a pricey outfit would be made of gold stones or pearls scooped from the rarest marine oysters. But what you see is a bland white jumpsuit with a bra-like top and cut-out in the midriff area.
What is even mind-blowing is that it initially retailed for $12,495, but Kim in her gracious mercy decided to take pity on fans and cut it to $9,370. As expected, the jumpsuit, which was described as rare has "minor signs of wear due to age."
3. A Heavy Coat That Weighs 7lbs
"EXTREMELY RARE limited edition style; Multi-colored tonal blue and black glass beaded and sequined embroidered hourglass, double-breasted coat with oversized, structured shoulders, pocket detailing, waist bump (hourglass) detailing, and navy buttons; Double hook & eye, and button closure," is the description attached to a rare Balenciaga Coat that sells for $6,495.
The bulky coat was initially sold for $12,995 but is now on sale for half its original price. The piece promises to be in excellent condition. However, Kim cautions that it is "heavy" weighing at nearly 7lbs.
That's no big deal right?
4. A Vintage Newspaper Skirt With Queen Elizabeth's Face
It's unsure who would want to wear an outfit with a picture of the late Queen of England, but Kim is letting her fans know that having such an item can cost almost $6,000.
Here we see an "EXTREMELY RARE" John Galliano for Christian Dior 2000 limited edition high-waisted skirt. The formerly-owned piece is made of newspaper and multi-graphic print that features "the former Queen and Duke of England, John Galliano, and more." It also features gold-tone metal hardware and pink silk lining.
The description promises that the skirt is in good condition but has "very minor signs of wear and skirt waist was altered to fit a 25" waist and Kim's body." Raise your hand if your waist and behind look like Kim Kardashian. We didn't think so...
5. Cotton Bodysuit That Cost Over $8,000
Just when you thought it couldn't get more ridiculous, "The Kardashians" star is selling a formerly owned bodysuit for $5,585. Yes, it's a designer piece, Christian Dior to be precise, but why is a bodysuit worth almost $6,000? The current price is a discounted one from the original $8.595, described as "EXTREMELY RARE limited edition style from the F/W 1997 John Galliano for Christian Dior runway show; Iridescent orange and pink embroidered lizard-like patterned."
It is made of Acetate, cotton, and lycra and has an "eye closure sewn into the crotch for size expansion." However, the heavy almost $6K price tag doesn't stop it from looking basic.
Kardashian Kloset was initially launched in 2019 and announced by momager Kris Jenner. "For the first time you’ll be able to shop items directly from our closets,” Jenner wrote in her Instagram post — which showed an illustration of a street sign with signs for designer brands such as Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton, and Gucci — prompting her followers to go to the site’s Instagram account for more launch details," she wrote in an Instagram post.
The online store first featured collections from Kris, Kim, and Kylie Jenner, before Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian's pieces were later added. As with all things Kardashians, the platform has been plagued with controversies.
Regardless, it is no doubt a great business venture for the reality stars, but who are willing to spend such ridiculous amounts?
Someone is...
