Kanye West buys girlfriend Chaney Jones a $275K Hermès Birkin bag
Kanye West has picked up yet another Birkin for one of his muses.
Page Six Style can exclusively reveal that the Yeezy designer purchased girlfriend Chaney Jones an extremely rare version of the bag for $275,000 from Privé Porter.
We’re told West, 44, watched the bag, which is silver metallic Chèvre leather with palladium hardware, be delivered to Jones, 24, in Houston Tuesday night via FaceTime.
Our sources also tell us that Jones, who put in the request first, wanted this exact version of the bag, as it is “very very rare” and not in circulation anymore.
West is no stranger to the world of Hermés; In February, he purchased five Birkins for then-girlfriend Julia Fox and her friends for her 31st birthday. For that haul, West commissioned personal shopper and stylist Michelle Lovelace to secure the goods.
“They decided to do a Birkin, and he definitely wanted to stick with an exotic [skin], which is how she ended up getting the ostrich,” Lovelace told Page Six Style after the big reveal.
“And then the next day, they were like, ‘Wait, we actually want to get more,’ because he wants to gift all her close friends one, too. I was like, no way. I couldn’t believe it at first.”
Birkins, which typically cannot be purchased in stores, are usually found on the resale market, where they can go for anywhere from $10,000 into the mid-six figures for rare versions.
Privé Porter has sold numerous Hermés bags to Paris Hilton, Floyd Mayweather, Cardi B and more.
