Kim Kardashian may have just left the most expensive autograph of her life — directly on a Hermès Birkin bag worth around $45,000. The unusual moment took place at an event for her Skims brand in Shanghai and quickly sparked a lively discussion online.

One fan handed the 45-year-old star a red Birkin 35 made of crocodile leather and asked her to sign it right in the middle of the bag. Kardashian was handed a gold-colored pen, but before putting her signature on the luxury accessory, she visibly hesitated.
“This feels illegal,” Kardashian joked before adding, “Oh my God, this is sacrilege.”
A video of the unusual moment, shared on social media, quickly caught users’ attention. After signing the bag, Kim posed for a photo with its owner, who now has her name emblazoned across the prized accessory.
While the exact value of the fan’s bag is unknown, a virtually identical Hermès Birkin 35 in shiny crocodile leather, featuring palladium hardware, is currently listed for $44,500 by luxury reseller Madison Avenue Couture.
Users were quick to debate how much Kardashian’s autograph could add to the value of an already expensive handbag. “This is just insane,” one commenter wrote. Another joked that it would be hilarious if the bag turned out to be a fake and its owner later sold it for thousands of dollars thanks to Kim’s signature. “He knows what he’s doing. The bag is worth more now. Smart man,” another user remarked.
Interestingly, the Kardashian-Jenner family already boasts an impressive collection of Hermès Birkin and Kelly bags. In fact, Kim’s mother, Kris Jenner, owns the exact same model that her daughter signed.
For a luxury-accessory enthusiast, Kim Kardashian’s signature could become more than just a memorable souvenir — it could be a truly unusual addition to an already enviable collection.
