Kim Kardashian showed off a new, one-of-a-kind Hermes handbag, hand painted by her 1-year-old daughter, North West. According to Life & Style Magazine , Kanye West surprised Kim with the bag, which features hand paintings by the couple’s little girl . Kim was given the bag on her birthday last month, but just stepped out with it this week for the first time.

A Hermes handbag will cost you well over $2,000, but since you can’t actually get the North West special anywhere else, Kim’s bag is priceless.
Kim Kardashian did not even know that the bag was custom designed by her child. In fact, Kim admitted that she thought Kanye got the item from a new artist — that it was some kind of exclusive bag offered by Hermes. In many ways, she was not wrong!
“I had thought it was this new artist who had painted this purse [but] it was my daughter. It was amazing,” Kim said at the time. According to Yahoo! Celebrity , Kim posted a photo of herself with her new accessory on Instagram.
“Me & my bae out today. Wearing my favorite bag painted by my little North,” Kim captioned the photo below.
It is unknown if Kanye West actually took North to a boutique or to a store to have the artwork done or if he just did it at home with her. However, it is presumed that he needed to send the bag somewhere to have it preserved so that the paint stayed on the fabric. North used just a few colors (including blue and yellow) to decorate her mom’s gift, but topped it off with an orange hand print.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are reportedly trying to get pregnant again. The two are hoping to give North a sibling some time in 2015. While there has been a lot of speculation surrounding a second pregnancy, Kim has not made any kind of announcement just yet. As previously reported by the Inquisitr , Kim has been on “ bump watch ” since the beginning of the month.
Meanwhile, Kim’s sister Kourtney is expecting a baby girl (her third child) with her beau Scott Disick. Kim has said that she was hoping to be pregnant at the same time as Kourtney, but that hasn’t happened… yet.
