Kim Kardashian Says Elephant Birkin Was a Fake Prop From 'All's Fair'

She points to on-set prop use as the source of the bag.

Overview

  • Kardashian confirmed on the Khloé in Wonder Land podcast that the elephant-skin Birkin seen in November photos and on All's Fair was counterfeit and used for wardrobe.
  • She said visible cues such as upside-down hardware and the bag's texture made clear it was a knockoff.
  • She explained that she brought personal handbags to set while production also kept additional bags on hand for styling needs.
  • She said she delayed responding because she felt overwhelmed by criticism of All's Fair and now regrets not addressing the issue sooner.
  • Animal-rights backlash cited PETA's account that Hermès created limited elephant-skin prototypes in the 1980s, which heightened concern over the bag's appearance.
