Until recently, Kylie Jenner's favourite accessory was her boyfriend Timothee Chalamet.

But now the beauty mogul has revealed a different type of arm candy – a collection of Hermes bags worth £1.7million or more.

Ms Jenner, 28, who is thought to be worth £500million, went on Instagram to unveil her 'Birkin Wall', shelves crammed with versions of the bags, named after the actress Jane Birkin.

Dressed in a balconette bra, low-rise trousers and Louboutins, she posted images of herself in her walk-in wardrobe, writing: 'Can't a girl have fun?'

Her hoard includes several sizes and types, with one thought to be worth £222,000. 

Even Victoria Beckham – who is rumoured to have 100 – looks parsimonious by comparison.

The basic bag costs £10,000 or more, depending on size (special editions, of course, set you back far more), and is a favourite of Kate Moss and Dua Lipa.

Opinion among Ms Jenner's 390million Instagram followers was divided, with one posting: 'One row of those bags could end hunger on the east coast.'

The animal rights group PETA posted: 'That Birkin wall is a graveyard.'

But her collection is more than a hobby – it's an investment.

Now that she's flaunted it to the world, let's hope she's insured.
