A Collector’s Dream: 698 Designer Bags
Kimora Lee Simmons, the iconic founder of Baby Phat, proudly revealed her jaw-dropping collection of designer handbags. In an exclusive sneak peek from the finale of her E! reality show, “Kimora: Back in the Fab Lane,” she disclosed that she possesses a staggering 698 stunning bags. “My name is Kimora and I am a hoarder — but a luxury hoarder,” she humorously confessed in the clip.
From Underestimation to Reality
When prompted about the size of her collection, Simmons initially playfully estimated, “maybe like 100.” However, she soon corrected herself, acknowledging that it is “probably hundreds.” The actual jaw-dropping number flashed on the screen: 698.
A Luxurious Lineup of Handbags
Kimora’s handbag collection is not only extensive but also includes a luxurious array of Hermès Birkin and Kelly bags. Many of these exquisite pieces are valued at over $50,000 on the resale market. Notable bags include a vibrant yellow, pink, and orange Birkin Sunrise Rainbow Limited Edition, currently valued at $45,000.
More than Just Handbags
The fashion mogul’s collection extends beyond traditional handbags. It boasts shelves filled with quilted Chanel flap bags, luxurious luggage from Goyard and Louis Vuitton, and even high-end sports gear. This includes a Chanel rubber basketball worth $7,500 and a Louis Vuitton World Cup Memorial soccer ball valued at $9,000.
An Organized Archive of Fashion
Kimora’s impressive collection is meticulously organized by color, style, and designer in multiple walk-in closets. She describes it as a “good archive” that showcases not just current trends but also vintage treasures. Her extensive accessories collection includes $1,200 worth of Fendi Monster Charms and $1,000 in Labubus.
The Next Generation of Fashion Enthusiasts
When discussing her handbag empire, Kimora humorously remarked, “My girls will inherit a lot, but not yet.” She has six children, including Ming Lee Simmons, 25, and Aoki Lee Simmons, 23, who often raid their mother’s closet for trendy options. “Ming loves to shop in my closet,” Kimora admits, adding that sometimes her daughter claims items as her own.
Captivating Viewers with Glamour and Chaos
