The Aussie ‘Queen of Birkins’ is giving Kylie Jenner some stiff competition in the handbag department, reportedly owning more than 30 ultra-rare Hermès Birkins

It isn’t easy to dub a lady the Queen of Birkins. It is the esteemed Hermès Birkin, after all, that is the queen of all handbags. Still, when a woman dedicates millions of dollars to the stylish status symbol, we sit up and take notice.

Make-up mogul Kylie Jenner is a name that immediately springs to mind with her enviable colour-coded US$1 million handbag wardrobe.

That’s a record tough to beat, but 42-year-old Roxanne Jacenko, Australian businesswoman, socialite and runner-up of The Celebrity Apprentice Australia, seems to be trumping the American entrepreneur one Birkin at a time.

In 2020, Elle reported that Jenner’s collection includes 13 Birkin bags and 10 Kelly bags. But mother-of-two and PR maven Jacenko owns more than 30 Hermès Birkin bags, according to Yahoo! Lifestyle.

Let’s delve right into the battle of the Birkins …
