Kim Kardashian proudly shows off her Christmas gift from Kanye West - a Hermes handbag customised with a nude painting by world renown contemporary artist.


Since dating Kanye West, Kim Kardashian has become more and more ensconced in the art world.
The couple have recently been striking up new friendships with several different world renown artists, including Jeff Koons, and earlier this month they attended Art Basel in Miami, Florida. 
On Thursday during a shopping trip in Woodland Hills, the 33-year-old proudly showed off her Christmas gift from her rapper fiance - a tan Hermes leather handbag customised with a nude painting by famous contemporary artist, George Condo.

The design features several eerie nude female figures and a bare-chested monster, and has been directly hand painted on the front of the very expensive leather good. 
On Thursday, Kim also posted a photograph of the handbag on her Instagram account, captioning it with a series of hashtags, including '#HandPaintedGeorgeCondo #HermesBirkin #OneofOne #ChristmasPresentFromYeezy'.
Kanye and Condo have known each other for several years after the rapper contacted the New York-based painter in 2010, asking him to create a series of paintings for his fifth studio album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
Condo has been prominent in the art world for over three decades, and is heralded as being instrumental in the international revival of painting from the 1980s onward.

The reality star kept warm in one of her favourite cashmere coats in cream and her tan stilettos matched her new handbag.
Meanwhile, Kanye went casual in a pair of light denim jeans tucked into his favourite Timberland boots and a grey sweater worn underneath a green padded parka.
The notoriously hot-headed star was certainly in a festive mood for once, grinning from ear-to-ear as he left the store with his bride-to-be.
