KIM Kardashian has fans riled up after she showed off her personal closet stuffed with nearly 130 designer Balenciaga hand bags.
The Kardashians star was recently announced as the new brand ambassador for the controversial company.

Kim posted several new photos to her Instagram from inside her massive walk-in closet, with four shelves of Balenciaga bags.
In one photo, the 43-year-old used one of the bags as a pillow, as she laid seductively surrounded by the various carryalls.
A second photo featured a clothing change, as Kim, now standing in the middle of her closet, wore a pure black ensemble.
The reality star put one hand on her hip, while the other hand clutched one of the sacks.
That was followed by a video of Kim gleefully counting all of her bags, and coming up with a total of 128.
“I guessed 130!” she joyfully bellowed, before realizing she had one additional, uncounted bag in her hands.
“One Twenty-Nine!” she squealed in excitement. “I was one bag off. You guys, I won.”
But Kim was a loser in the comments section, as fans slammed her display, and her new partnership.
“Nothing like wealthy people flaunting their wealth to all us poor souls,” one person sarcastically shared.
“Read the room, Kim,” another tacked on.
“Kim, why don’t you donate some of that money that you spend on those purses, shoes and everything else to the homeless? Or build shelters for the homeless?” a third questioned.
BALENCIAG-NAH
Others were angry Kim was repping Balenciaga in the first place.
The fashion house faced fury when images from their Spring 2023 ad campaign showed children holding teddy bears wearing fishnet tops and what looked like bondage gear.
The anger only escalated when a second campaign showed a bag placed on legal documents that were related to child pornography.
Fans in the comments section of her bag display called Kim out.
“How quickly she forgot about the kid bondage campaign once she saw the (money),” one person slammed.
Another added, “Disappointment. Money over morals.”
While one person made a personal attack.
“You’re a mother. We didn’t forget last years campaign.”
And a fourth blasted, “I usually respect Kim’s business decisions so much. However, this is so tone deaf, and goes against everything she has said publicly.”
ON BRAND
Despite the controversy, Kim announced on Monday she is now an official brand ambassador for Balenciaga.
The high-fashion line’s official Instagram account shared the news with a quote from the TV personality.
“Today, Balenciaga names Kim Kardashian as a new brand ambassador,” they wrote alongside a black and white photo of the star.
“For several years now, Balenciaga’s designs have been a part of my many looks – and some of my most iconic fashion moments.
“This historic fashion house embraces modernity, craftsmanship, and takes an innovative approach to design under Demna,” the mother-of-four added.
“For me, this long-standing relationship is built on mutual trust and a commitment to doing what’s right,” Kim continued.
“I’m excited about this next chapter for the brand and to become their ambassador.”
The Skims founder reshared the posts to her own profile.
