When it comes to giving gifts to the women in his life, rapper Kanye West “plays it safe”: for wildly expensive bags.
This time, the interpreter of ‘Donda ‘ went to great lengths to gift his current partner, model Chaney Jones, a very special Birkin bag.
A source revealed to Entertainment Tonight that West “bought an extremely rare version of the Birkin bag for Chaney Jones for $275 thousand dollars in Privé Porter“.
According to the same informant, the bag, in metallic Chèvre leather silver, was delivered to Jones in Houston, Texas: “Kanye watched as Chaney received the bag via FaceTime.”
Michelle Berk, CEO of Privé Porter told the same outlet that it is a very limited production bag that was only made in 2004. “Other notable owners of this bag are Jeffree Star, who bought it from me, and Bella Hadid. It is one of the most famous and requested Birkins in the world”.
“The demand is due to the beauty and uniqueness of the bag… as well as the limited number of its production”, warned Berk.

Michelle Berk added that the bag has been sold until for $300 thousand dollars, so “Kanye’s team insisted he just wanted this bag, no substitutions. The timing was strange, as we had just added it to our Metaverse Fashion Week ANFT collection, a major breakthrough in luxury ownership and authenticity, and it ended up being the first person to own something of this nature.”
The founder of the brand also said that he himself gave the luxurious gift to Jones, “because the unit was very valuable and they wanted it that same day”.
The 44 year old rapper has been spending time with the 24 year old model in recent weeks . They attended a Lakers game earlier this month, went to Nobu in Malibu in February, and recently spent time together in Miami.
This is not the first time West has gifted Birkin bags to his couples. In early February, the musician bought an Hermès Birkin bag for his ex-girlfriend Julia Fox and several of his friends as a birthday present.
