This week, a whirlwind of rumors took center stage, igniting intrigue around Kim Kardashian’s not-so-secret quest—an attempt to snag her daughter North West a coveted Hermès bag. But here’s the kicker: according to a former employee from the opulent Beverly Hills Hermès boutique, not every superstar gets to bask in the glory of luxury shopping. Just picture it: Kanye West and Kim, perhaps draped in astrological glitz of a full moon, batting their eyelashes for a Black Mini Kelly bag, only to hear a resounding “no” from the fashion gods at Hermès. It’s like a cosmic punchline, really! The truth, however, soon unwrapped like gift-wrapped drama, as reports surfaced denying this luxurious shopping escapade ever happened. Was it a classic case of celebrity chasing clout, or did the stars just misalign? As buzz surrounding high fashion and childhood desires mingles, the story takes a turn leaving us to ponder: when you’re living in the lap of luxury, do you really need to get what you want?
Earlier this week, rumors that Kim Kardashian unsuccessfully tried to buy her pre-teen daughter North a Hermès bag began to swirl. This is because author and journalist Amy Odell recently spoke with a former employee of the Beverly Hills Hermès boutique. Apparently, they told her that “not every celebrity got what they wanted” when they came in to shop.
“Kanye West and Kim Kardashian wanted a Black Mini Kelly bag for North or something like that. And Hermès said no,” they explained. “I have no idea why, but we were like, ‘Oh, wow.’ I think at that point it goes through corporate, because if someone who’s that high profile wants something, then obviously they’re going to be photographed in it — and they don’t want just anyone photographed in it.”
“So you’d call the press office and be like, ‘Hey, so and so wants a handbag.’ And they’d usually say, ‘Cool.’ But for some reason they didn’t want North West to have an alligator Mini Kelly,” they concluded. For reference, an alligator mini Kelly can sell for over $75K.

Now, however, TMZ reports that there’s actually zero truth to these rumors. The outlet spoke to sources who claim that the SKIMS founder has had a solid relationship with Hermès for years. They claim that she’s used the same contact for over a decade in Paris, not the press office.
Moreover, they clarified that Kardashian did not request a bag for North or even visit a store recently. Apparently, those close to the situation aren’t happy to hear that people are fabricating stories like this when kids are involved.
“They find it very disturbing that anyone would make up stories about a child for clicks,” they added.
