It goes without saying that the Hermès Birkin bag is a true sign of a fashionista.

The coveted purse is the definition of a status symbol among the fashion elite, thanks to its hefty price tag and extremely rare availability. 

Among its countless celebrity owners, Kim Kardashian stands out from the crowd as a prime collector, rocking her chic accessories all over town.

And, just in case you're both a fan of the star as well as in the market for a beautiful Birkin of your own, now's your chance!

Kanye West's ladylove has consigned two handbags to Heritage Auctions' spring Handbag and Luxury Accessories Signature Auction, which will take place on April 28 at New York's Fletcher Sinclair Mansion, following previews in Beverly Hills and Dallas. 

Wondering what's up for grabs? The famous mom-to-be has offered a limited-edition Veau Doblis and Barenia Grizzly Birkin with permabrass hardware with an opening bid of $10,000, as well as an orange Swift leather Kelly style with palladium hardware with an opening bid of $7,500. A portion of the auction's proceeds will be donated to charity.
