A viral rumor claiming Kim Kardashian was turned away from buying a rare Mini Kelly bag for her daughter North West has been debunked. Sources tell TMZ the story simply never happened, despite originating from a fashion newsletter. Kim maintains a friendly relationship with the luxury brand through established channels.
Oh, the drama! Just when we thought celebrity shopping sprees couldn't get messier, a juicy rumor about Kim K and a super-exclusive Hermès bag for little North West blew up online. But hold the phone—TMZ sources are spilling that it’s all smoke and no fire. 😏
The tale in question? Journalist Amy Odell’s “Back Row” newsletter claimed a former Beverly Hills Hermès employee spilled that Kim and ex Kanye West once tried snagging a black Mini Kelly bag for North but got shut down. Picture this: an ultra-rare alligator version that resells for over $75,000. Iconic flex or what? But nope, our sources say Kim never requested it, never hit up a store recently, and definitely wasn’t denied.
Instead, Kim’s been cozy with Hermès for years, sticking to the same Paris contact for over a decade—not the press office like the rumor suggested. “The story circulating online that Kim once attempted to purchase a coveted Mini Kelly bag for her daughter North West and was rejected simply never happened,” TMZ reports from insiders.
And get this: folks close to the fam are fuming because it drags a kid into the mix. One source dished, “They find it very disturbing that anyone would make up stories about a child for clicks.” Fair? Totally. We’re all about the tea, but not when it’s fabricated and involves the minis. 🔥
So, rumor busted—Kim’s not the celeb who got the cold shoulder. But in Hollywood, who knows what bag drama brews next? Spill more if you’ve got it!
