Kylie Jenner Shows Off $200K Birkin Bag As Fans Slam Her 'Out-Of-Touch' Luxury Lifestyle

Kylie Jenner is no stranger to flaunting her lavish lifestyle, but her latest Instagram post sparked outrage after eagle-eyed fans spotted a rare Hermès Birkin 50 worth nearly $200,000 casually placed at her feet on a private jet. The 28-year-old makeup mogul shared a glimpse of her flight in a laid-back look, sporting gray sweatpants and sipping from a mug while stretched out in the cabin. Beside her feet sat the jaw-dropping Birkin, a brown crocodile edition that is considered one of the rarest of its kind. Currently listed for around $163,000 on Vestiaire Collective and up to $200,000 on eBay, the six-figure tote is rarely spotted in the wild, let alone used as a carry-on.

Never one to shy away from mixing high fashion with comfort, Jenner paired the statement piece with multiple monogrammed Louis Vuitton accessories. According to reports, the star's purse collection tops $1 million, with over 20 Hermès Kelly and Birkin bags, plus dozens of Chanel and Fendi designs. She captioned the slideshow simply, "i luv my life."

While Jenner's flex delighted some fans, critics flooded the Daily Mail's coverage with scathing comments about her extravagance.

One reader scoffed, "More money than sense, I mean who even needs a bag worth that much money when the world is in tatters…." Another bluntly declared that the Kardashian family has become a toxic influence. "I can't believe we made these uneducated plastic dolls famous," the user said. "They have influenced a whole generation of young impressionable girls to get botox, fillers, implants, and have ruined their looks and possibly health. They are toxic."

Others took aim at the broader Kardashian-Jenner dynasty, with one commenter writing, "The Kardashian kids of the whole extended family would be better off being raised by wild wolves."

Jenner's Birkin flex comes as no surprise given her long-standing obsession with rare designer handbags. After attending the star-studded Bezos-Sánchez wedding in Venice, the beauty mogul made her way to Saint-Tropez, where she was spotted soaking up the sun with sister Kendall Jenner and close friends at the exclusive Loulou Beach Club. Of course, Jenner didn't arrive empty-handed. In one of her Instagram posts, the 28-year-old showed off not one but two rare Hermès bags, instantly sending fans and collectors into a frenzy.

In one snap, Kylie cradled the Hermès Faubourg Birkin in Beton Matte Alligator, a design crafted to mimic the façade of Hermès' Paris flagship store on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. Covered in alligator leather and detailed with tiny windows topped with orange awnings, the bag is considered one of the most elusive and expensive Birkins ever created.

She paired it with another statement piece: the Hermès Kelly Doll Picto Bag, a quirky, pixelated version of the classic Kelly. Featuring cartoonish arms and a smiling face, the playful design originally retailed for $15,600 but has been auctioned for as much as $74,000, according to Sotheby's.

Beyond her love of luxury handbags, Kylie Jenner has been candid about her growing confidence in the fashion world. "I feel like I'm finally finding my fashion feet," she recently shared with Vogue, crediting her new styling duo, Alexandra and Mackenzie Grandquist, for helping her carve out a distinct identity separate from her famous sisters.

While her former stylist, Dani Michelle, focused on the sleek "Calabasas cool" aesthetic, the Grandquists encourage a more experimental, avant-garde approach. "We're still playing with Barbie, basically," they explained of their philosophy when styling Kylie. Their playful perspective has pushed her wardrobe in bold new directions, with pieces that feel more like works of art than just expensive status symbols.

Kylie has since developed close ties with designers like Haider Ackermann, aided in part by her relationship with Timothée Chalamet, and has leaned into labels such as Acne, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Coperni, brands that align her style closer to edgy pop icons like Charli XCX than to the traditional Kardashian mold.

Even her handbag choices, while still jaw-droppingly pricey, are seen as thoughtful fashion statements rather than flashy displays of wealth.
