People Are Wondering If The Kardashians Are “Desperate For Money” After Noticing That Billionaire Kim Kardashian Is Trying To Sell A “Dirty” Birkin Handbag For $70k

Instead of throwing away or donating their unwanted designer clothes, Kim sold them on eBay and took a slice of the earnings. 

In a 2015 interview with Variety, Kim opened up about how she first got into making a living from selling designer goods, revealing that it all started when her dad, Robert Kardashian, let her buy multiple pairs of designer shoes as she attempted to turn a profit.

“I discovered eBay and I loved shopping,” she told the publication at the time. “I had to be on a budget, I didn’t have credit cards. How do I figure out how to make this a business? I remember I bought these  Manolo Blahnik shoes that were $700.”

“[My dad] let me buy five pairs,” Kim continued. “I had to pay him back plus interest. I sold every pair on eBay for $2,500. I became so obsessed with seeing that return, I would sell off the things I wouldn’t be wearing.”

Proving that old habits die hard, Kim and the rest of her famous family cut out the middleman as they built an entire website dedicated to selling off their unwanted designer goods in October 2019.

Kardashian Kloset is described as “a luxury designer clothing resale site that brings the fashionable and fun clothing from the famous Kardashian-Jenner family closets to yours.”

According to the website, each piece listed for sale has been “hand-selected by each family member,” and the goal is “to share a part of the Kardashian Jenner family lifestyle by offering you the opportunity to own one of a kind items.”

The items for sale are categorized by family member, with Kim’s sisters and mom all having their own sub-section. There is also a “kids” department, which sells the clothes that have previously been worn by the Kardashian-Jenner children. 

While some of the kids' clothes are listed for as little as $20, most of the items on the site are extremely high-end — which is reflected in the price tag, despite being second-hand. 

The alligator leather Birkin is listed as being in “good condition,” but the description warns that there is “some discoloration on handles and underside bottom corners, and minor scratching on metal.”

The discoloration is particularly noticeable in the accompanying pictures, with the handles of the cream bag visibly stained brown.
