Kim Kardashian might have given her most expensive autograph yet. At a Shanghai event for her brand SKIMS, she signed a fan's red Birkin bag, valued at an estimated $45k. It was a moment that left her shocked.

The iconic Hermès bag is one of the hardest accessories to get your hands on, with waitlists and price tags standing between shoppers and their dream bag.

In a video shared online, Kardashian is seen hesitating before signing the red Birkin bag, holding onto the pen carefully. Afterward, she signs her name with a golden marker. 

“This feels illegal,” Kardashian said. “Oh, my God. This feels blasphemous.” After she signed it, she exchanged a hug with the fan. 

It's a celebratory moment for Kardashian, who has built SKIMS into one of the biggest shapewear and loungewear brands in the world, finding success internationally. 

You can check out the moment in full below, shared by the fashion website WWD.

The moment has sparked plenty of discussion in the comments, from shock to great jokes. "This is so so so insane !!! I don’t think I like anyone to sign my croc Birkin," wrote someone. "Oh wait I don't have a croc." 

"It’s funny cause they played her," wrote a second person. "They’re gonna try to sell that s*** for more expensive because she signed it."

A third person had the best suggestion. "Plot twist: It’s a fake Birkin."

Kim Kardashian opens up about her sons and their interests

Kim Kardashian has two sons who are very into sports

In a recent interview, Kardashian has opened up about her sons and the challenges of becoming a sports parent. “My boys wanted to play baseball, but it was at a phase where they wanted to try everything and every single sport,” she told PEOPLE.

Like many parents, Kardashian has had to balance her kids' activities with a packed schedule, all while running multiple businesses. She revealed that baseball wasn't her favorite sport because it was so time-consuming. "I remember pulling up to the baseball field and like three hours in I’m like, ‘Alright, I think that other sport was way better for you," she continued.

“So like, so much respect to baseball parents,” Kim added. “Like, if you know, you know. It’s long hours.”

Kim shares two sons with Kanye West, Saint and Psalm. It appears that the boys have fallen in love with soccer, with them attending numerous soccer games and even meeting the best soccer player in the world, Lionel Messi. Kim has often shared photos of her boys' love for soccer on social media, proving she's fully embraced her role as a sports mom. 

The couple also has two daughters, North and Chicago. While most of their kids are too young to know what they want with their lives, North is following in her father's footsteps as a singer and performer.  Between SKIMS, her TV career, her much-discussed relationship with Lewis Hamilton, and raising four busy kids, it's safe to say Kim has her hands full.
