Kylie Jenner gifted rare $140,000 Hermes handbag for 25th birthday

What do you get the girl who has everything? An extremely rare Hermès Birkin bag, that’s what.

Mumager Kris Jenner gifted her billionaire daughter a three-tone version of the luxury label’s signature satchel for her 25th birthday on August 10 – the pricey purse worth a whopping $US100,000 ($140,000), the New York Post reports.

“Gorgeous! I’ve never even seen anything like this before,” Kylie exclaimed while unboxing the bag on TikTok on Friday.

“They made three of these,” she added while showing off the zipper detail on the front of the purse as daughter Stormi and niece Chicago West, both four, looked on.

The reality star, who wore a semi-sheer sequined dress to celebrate, also unwrapped a pair of orange Hermès shearling mules ($1400) before the tricolored Birkin.

“Best b-day,” the kardashians star captioned the video, in which she’s overheard saying, “Birthday party on the boat!” before showing her staff on-board as well as mum Kris, sisters Kendall Jenner and Kim Kardashian and her best friend Anastasia Karanikolaou.

At the end of the video, Kim attempts to take a shot in a moment that’s already become a meme.

Kylie’s 45 million TikTok fans had mixed feelings about the birthday bash.

“I wonder what it’s like to live so lavishly,” one person commented.

“How do you even get a billionaire a birthday present?” another fan asked.

“I got Texas Roadhouse for my birthday,” a third follower quipped.

This is far from the birthday girl’s first over-the-top Hermès item. She’s the proud owner of $106,000 ultra-exclusive “Birkinstocks” sandals made from destroyed Hermès Birkin bags and once matched her manicure to her de ella $421,000 diamond-embellished brown crocodile Birkin.

In 2019, the makeup mogul flaunted her envy-inducing custom purse closet in the “Star Power” issue of Architectural Digest.

The mum of two showed off a row of impossible-to-get Hermès bags made of ostrich and animal skins, ranging from $10,000 to more than $200,000.

At the time, her handbag collection was estimated to be worth at least $700,000, but has since grown significantly in size and price.

Kylie Jenner forced to reveal truth behind photos of her working in lab

Kylie Jenner has hit back at haters who criticized her recent lab photos for being “unsanitary”.

But in the process of defending herself, the 24-year-old US makeup mogul has been forced to admit an embarrassing detail.

The Kylie Cosmetics founder uploaded a string of glamorous photos of herself working on cosmetics while wearing a lab coat, telling Instagram followers she was “in the lab creating new magic for you guys.”

The photos were called out by cosmetic developer Kevin James Bennett in an Instagram post, in which he slammed her for not wearing “a hair net, shoe covers, [a] mask … and disposable GLOVES.”

Jenner was quick to argue with Bennett, writing in the comments section, “Kevin — this picture is not taken in a manufacturing facility. i would never bypass sanitary protocols and neither would any other celeb or beauty brand owner.”

The reality star wrote that she was in a “small, personal space” in the pictures, which was strictly “for content.”

“[I was] creating my own fun samples and taking pictures for content nowhere near the mass manufacturing,” the kardashians alum went on to write. “No one is putting customers at risk!”

She concluded, “Shame on you Kevin for spreading false information !!!!”

In Bennett’s reply to Jenner, he accused the star of “serious[ly] gaslighting” her followers.

“So you were standing on a platform, looking into an expensive homogenizing kettle that had processed at least 50 liters of a complexion product (the product still covering the mixing paddles) without PPE or your hair tied back, wearing a lab coat? But this is not a cosmetics manufacturing facility?” I have asked. “It’s a personal space?”

Sources exclusively told Page Six that Jenner was not on the production floor when the pictures and videos were taken as she was simply reviewing colors and ideating on new concepts.

However, this was not made clear to Jenner’s fans, who have mixed feelings about the lab visit.

“Many brand owners take those pictures. Ella she’s not doing anything wrong and we have zero way to know how involved she is in formulation, ”one Instagram user wrote.

Another added, “I’ve seen all kinds of scenarios in development labs, but uncovered hair near a kettle in production would never happen. full stop.”

Jenner founded Kylie Cosmetics in 2014 and began selling products the following year, going on to also launch Kylie Skin and Kylie Baby in 2019 and 2021, respectively.
