Kim Kardashian Receives Racy $40K Birkin Bag From Kanye West for Christmas [Photo]
Kim Kardashian's racy and expensive Christmas gift from her fiancé Kanye West is causing quite a stir.
The 33-year-old reality star received an original Hermes Birkin hangbag from her beau. However, much like West's sometimes bizarre and eccentric style, the handcrafted bag features a weird design of naked women and a demon.
The nude bodies were hand-painted by George Condo, the world-renowned artist who illustrated album covers for West's 2010 "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy," reports Vulture.
The new mom showed off the gift while out shopping with West Thursday in Los Angeles, reports the New York Daily News. She also shared a picture of the bag on Instagram with a caption that read, "#HandPaintedGeorgeCondo #HermesBirkin #OneofOne #ChristmasPresentFromYeezy."
However, not everyone liked the bag as much as the fashion-forward couple.
The Cut, which estimates that the bag cost is worth $40,000, called it " the ugliest bag in the history of civilization."
Kardashian's Instagram followers also weren't shy about sharing their reactions to the bag. "Poor birkin :(" and "What was he thinking" were among the responses, reports USA Today.
Other online comments included, "Its not art or classy in the slightest. It hurts my eyes," "This can't be real," and "He could have at least chosen a diff painter. If your gonna ruin a Birkin .. You might as well do it right. Or How about an Art History class for Kim instead?"
"Naked demons?"
The art on Kardashian's bag is similar to an oil on canvas painting Condo made in 2004 called "Nocturnal Figure Composition," which has the same ghoulish design.
