Remembering a Milestone: Kris Jenner’s “Baby Birkin” Moment—An Aspen Anniversary
In August 2015, Privé Porter made waves in the luxury world when Kris Jenner delighted fans—and her daughters—by purchasing two coveted “Baby Birkin” bags during our Aspen pop-up. On her Instagram, she wrote: “In Aspen for ART CRUSH and discovered my new obsession…Prive Porter’s first store!” This moment wasn’t just a shopping highlight—it marked a turning point for Privé Porter’s brand identity, elevating us from Hermès reseller to destination for rare Hermès finds.
The Buy That Broke the Internet
Reporting at the time noted that Kris Jenner spent around $16,000 (each now valued between $32,000-36,000!) on her two Baby Birkins—a chic, compact version of the iconic handbag. Her excitement and endorsement put Privé Porter firmly on the map.
More than a sale, it was validation: collectors and celebrities now saw Privé Porter as the exclusive gateway to Hermès rarity—no lines, no games—just the bags they wanted, right then and there.
Aspen: Where the Magic Happened
The Aspen pop-up was our first major foray into physical retail, offering clients a curated, in-person shopping experience. With private viewings and immediate access to rare inventory, it became a snapshot of the future of luxury resale—where scarcity met immediacy.
Kris Jenner’s visit became legendary in luxe circles. As industry insiders said, she told us she and her daughters were hitting a ceiling: Hermès limits clients to two bags per year, no matter how much they spent. That’s when they turned to Privé Porter—no limitations, just the exact bags they wanted.
