Kanye «Ye» West has an impressive go-to present: wildly expensive handbags. This time, the artist pulled out all the stops when he gifted Chaney Jones — the woman he's been seeing and packing on PDA with in recent weeks — a very special Birkin bag.A source tells ET that West «purchased an extremely rare version of the Birkin bag for Chaney Jones for $275,000 from Privé Porter.»The bag is silver metallic Chèvre leather with palladium hardware and was delivered to Jones in Houston, Texas on Tuesday night, according to the source, who adds, «Kanye watched as Chaney received the bag via FaceTime.»Michelle Berk, CEO of Privé Porter tells ET, «This is a very limited production bag that was only made in 2004.
Other notable owners of this bag are Jeffree Star, who purchased from me, and Bella Hadid. It’s one of the most famous and sought after Birkins in the world.»«The demand is because of the beauty and uniqueness of the bag… as well as the limited production numbers,» Berk stated. «This bag has sold for as high as $300,000.
