This past week, an Instagram account that sells consigned luxury goods shared a video of Kim with the gray bag. One image showed her wearing a gray top, a satin skirt, and a matching draped cowl hood while posing inside an establishment. Another showed her sitting on a sofa with the bag placed beside her. The images appear to be taken from an interview tied to Kim’s new Hulu series All’s Fair.

According to PETA, the bags date back to the ’80s and were allegedly made from the skin of an elephant that had been fatally shot on a safari. They were never officially sold by Hermés, and they’re so rare that online estimates place the price of an elephant-leather Birkin as high as $125,000.
