Celebrity style icons have some of the best designer beauties, one family that are famous for high-end fashion are the Kardashian and Jenner family, with a combined net worth in the multi-billions, few families have as many collectible designer beauties in their closets.
Kylie Jenner
It is no doubt that Kylie Jenner is an influential fashionista, having great taste in expensive and luxurious fashion items. Kylie’s latest renovation of her Hidden Hills home with interior designer Martyn Lawrence-Bullard, will make you reconsider how much closet space a girl really needs!
There is a massive closet for her regular everyday clothes, then she has a workout closet dedicated to her workout clothes, the third closet is purely made to hold her collection of designer bags. Lastly, she also has a fitting room, where stylists come and bring collections for her to try on.
Kylie’s handbag collection includes over 400 pieces! Worth millions, the collection consists of the best luxury brands, mostly
Hermés Birkin bags and then
Louis Vuitton,
Chanel,
Dior and
Fendi. Her Birkin’s, of course, are most prioritized - having their own shelf with an array of different styles including an orange suede Birkin worth $28,000 (R469,000), a limited-edition So Black Birkin with all-black hardware worth at least $33,000 (R553,000), and a $10,800 (R180,000) pink version that she's kept aside for her daughter, Stormi.
Most of her bags are collector’s items, which she bought as investments and they're treated like works of art.
Kylie’s passion for designer and luxury fashion items extends to her daughter Stormi, who has her own miniature version of the
Louis Vuitton Speedy Bag. Stormi’s handbag collection doesn’t stop there, she also has a gorgeous Hermès Birkin bag as well as a mini Prada purse, which Kendall and Kylie both had when they were children. Talk about a stylish mother-daughter duo!
Kendall Jenner
It’s debatable who has better taste in fashion when it comes to sisters Kendall and Kylie, but both seem to be just as luxurious and have equal amounts of designer items. Being voted world’s highest paid model, on two occasions, it would be a let-down not to see Kendall prancing around without a
Birkin, or Prada handbag, luckily this is not the case.
Kendall’s style exceeds all expectations, having an interest in vintage fashion, she enjoys the ‘reinvented’ look, while showcasing her black ‘Hobo’ bag by
Prada as well as recreating the ‘Peekaboo’ handbag by Fendi. Kendall was seen casually wearing a vintage, green- crayon style ’Pochette’ bag by Louis Vuitton, which was first launched on the runway in early 2000’s becoming one of the most prominent bags of the 21st Century.
Much like her sister she is also obsessed with the
Hermès Birkin and has been spotted carrying the 45 Birkin bag - which Jane Birkin herself is never seen without - making her fashion choices iconic in every sense. Who would have thought they could outwear Jane Birkin herself? Kendall sure did.
Kim Kardashian West
Kim Kardashian West’s closets (yes, she has multiple closets just like every true fashionista deserves) is worth an astounding $10 million (R167 million). Her close relationship with high-end luxury fashion designers ensures that her closet is stocked full of iconic items, it’s what designer dreams are made of. She has beauties from
Gucci,
Chanel,
Dior,
Saint Laurent and
Hermès and so much more!
Her handbag collection alone is worth $1 million (R16 million). With over 20 different Hermès Birkin bags, valued at least $200,000 (R3 million). KKW even has the extremely rare Himalayan Birkin. Kim’s Birkin collection even includes some iconic custom pieces. In 2013, Kanye West gave her a Birkin 40 handbag with custom artwork by contemporary artist George Condo, who painted the cover of West's 2010 album. Kanye also gifted his wife a Hermès that was hand-painted by her daughter, North West.
Kim is also a big fan of
Fendi (aren’t we all) she has a pair of thigh-high Fendi monogrammed boots, valued at $1,650 (R27,645), as well as a matching weekend bag in the same print.
Khloe Kardashian
Khloe has multiple closets, just like her sisters, her master closet was decorated by Martyn Lawrence Bullard and the highlight of this massive shrine to designer shoes is 500
Christian Louboutin heels, which includes her favourite styles (Daffodil & Pigalle) in every colour.
While Khloé is obsessed with a variety of designer handbags, she showed just how many exclusive Birkins she owns in an Instagram post, which featured her daughter True surrounded by Hermès Birkin bags worth millions.
Kris Jenner
Kris, the momager of the Kardashian-Jenner empire has one room completely and entirely devoted to her Birkin bag collection which includes over 20 different Birkins, and is valued at $500,000 (R8 million). Kris has so many rare and iconic Birkin bags that it feels as if you are walking into an actual Hermès store. The room is luxuriously decorated with a crystal chandelier, and a custom neon sign which reads "Need money for Birkin".
Kris says “in the '80s I was a huge collector of
Moschino,
Chanel and
Valentino", Jenner's obsession with designer fashion began long before her daughters started starring in
Vogue covers and Fendi campaigns, and she has built an enviable vintage collection.
