Kardashian's Elephant Bag Sparks Outrage

Reality television personality Kim Kardashian has ignited a firestorm of controversy with her latest fashion choice: a Birkin bag reportedly made from elephant leather. The bag, showcased in an Instagram video, prompted immediate backlash from users and notable figures, including model Ireland Baldwin.

Baldwin took to social media to express her disgust, calling the bag "disgusting and shameful" and questioning the support for such fashion. This criticism highlights the significant decline in elephant populations, with all three species classified as threatened. Conservation organizations report that thousands of elephants are killed annually, primarily for their ivory.

The controversy surrounding the elephant-skin bag comes shortly after Kardashian faced criticism for wearing multiple fur garments. This pattern suggests a recurring theme of animal-related controversies for Kardashian in late 2025, drawing attention to ethical considerations in the fashion industry.
