Hermès Declines North West’s Black Mini Kelly Bid

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West reportedly asked Hermès to sell a black Mini Kelly to their daughter North West when she was a child, but the request was declined by the brand’s corporate office. The Mini Kelly is among Hermès’ rare, high-priced pieces (often $75,000–$82,000 on the resale market), and the story highlights how luxury houses manage access for ultra-high-profile clients. North West’s evolving wardrobe includes a mix of luxury bags from multiple houses, as well as memorabilia from pop culture.
