Overview
- Amy Odell’s Back Row newsletter relayed a former Beverly Hills Hermès employee’s claim that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were refused a black alligator Mini Kelly for North.
- TMZ, citing sources familiar with the situation, reports the attempted purchase and any rejection never happened, saying Kim neither requested a bag for North nor visited a store recently.
- Those TMZ sources add that Kim has relied on the same Paris contact for over a decade rather than press-office channels described in the newsletter, and they object to a rumor involving a child.
- Page Six reported that Hermès did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the alleged refusal.
- Both outlets describe the alligator Mini Kelly as exceptionally scarce, with resale prices commonly exceeding $75,000.
