When the Kardashian-Jenner family attends business meetings, they show up in style.

On Monday, Kylie Jenner shared a photo of herself and her mother, Kris Jenner, carrying matching handbags estimated to be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars while on board a private jet. She captioned the image: "business meetings."

They both wore all-black ensembles in the image, and accessorized with sharp jackets, oversized sunglasses, and diamond necklaces. But it was their identical handbags that stole the show. Both mother and daughter carried rare Hermès Himalaya Birkin Bags, which have been valued by Christie's for prices between $100,000 and $300,000

According to Christie's, the famed Birkin bag is made from the hide of Nile crocodiles, which is then dyed with gradient colors of gray and white meant to represent the Himalayas.

Only a "limited number" of the bags have been crafted for "top clients," according to Christie's. Kim Kardashian West and makeup mogul Jeffree Star are among the celebrities known to own at least one.

It's not entirely surprising that both Kris and Kylie own the rare handbag. In August 2018, Kylie gave fans a virtual tour of her handbag collection, which is stored in a dedicated closet in her home.

During the video, she specifically pointed out a row of Hermès bags, and said she considers the purses to be a "good investment.

"This one here is really special," Kylie said of her Hermès Himalaya Birkin Bag in the 2018 video. "If my house was on fire, I would take this one out of all of them — if I could only choose one."

 

Kris also shared a tour of her closet that month, and showed off her personal collection of handbags. While she didn't mention any Hermès products, she did note that she's been collecting Judith Leiber Couture pieces for years.
