In July 2011, bride-to-be Kim Kardashian showed her sunny side when she carried an eye-popping bright yellow Birkin. But Kim is famous for her collection of the luxury bags: She once dropped nearly $100,000 in one visit to Hermès. See Kim’s love affair with the most expensive bags on earth!

Kim Kardashian’s Major Bags
Named for legendary beauty Jane Birkin by the venerable house of Hermès, a Birkin bag—as well as the Kelly, named for Princess Grace—is the most iconic of all handbags. And at more than $10,000 a pop, it is also a one-per-lifetime luxury. Unless of course you are Kim Kardashian…check out her collection!

Good Day, Sunshine!
It must be the blissful happiness of a bride to be, but Summer 2011 has seen a new side of Kim Kardashian—a colorful one, that is! In a rare appearance sans black, Kim K. hit LAX in hot pink cardigan with a bright yellow Birkin on her arm. As if this weren’t enough to get our attention, Kim finished her “casual” look with Louboutin caged booties.

Off to a White Start
In the summer of 2009, Kim brightened her acid-wash jeans, dark blazer and printed scarf with a bright white Hermès Birkin bag.

Black Beauty
To complement her dark coat with a black mink collar, Kim toted a black textured Birkin in December 2009.

Beige Hit
Come Spring 2010, Kim lightened up again, shopping at West Hollywood’s Intermix with a beige Birkin on her arm.

Green with Envy
With her army green Birkin bag, Kim’s obviously prepared for battle—note the killer heels stuffed inside her tote!

Orange You Jealous?
In September 2010, Kim’s new orange Kelly bag was so big and so bright it seemed to arrive at LAX even before her thigh-high leather heels!

Mocha Lotta
We’re dark chocolate girls, personally. But Kim K’s latest Birkin, paired with deep black fur, makes milk chocolate look mmm, mmm good!

Back in Black
As far as we can tell, Kim has at least two black Birkin bags. One with gold hardware and another, seen here in New York in October 2010, with modern nickel accents.

Perfect Tan
While sister Khloe Kardashian sported Burberry’s Fall 2010 must have—shearling-lined aviator boots—Kim veered to classic luxury with yet another Birkin, this time in buttery tan.
