Ireland Baldwin Condemns Kim Kardashian Over Alleged Elephant‑Skin Birkin Seen in All’s Fair

The on-screen accessory matches rare vintage Hermès carryalls from the 1980s that animal-rights groups have long criticized.

Overview

  • Fashion account Birkin Junky posted a November 21 Reel showing Kardashian with a gray Hermès bag in All’s Fair and in between takes.
  • Ireland Baldwin called the appearance of the alleged elephant-skin Birkin “disgusting and shameful” in comments and an Instagram Story.
  • PETA has said Hermès did not officially sell such purses but crafted a number of carryalls from elephant hide linked to a 1980s safari, and the brand is not producing them today.
  • Behind-the-scenes images in Vogue Hong Kong and a TikTok by Kardashian featured the piece, which she described as a “really rare Birkin,” and comparable vintage examples have been listed for well over $100,000.
  • Stylist Soki Mak led the show’s vintage wardrobe, prompting debate over responsibility for the choice, and outlets report representatives for Kardashian, Hulu and Hermès have been asked for comment without clarification so far.
