It seems like practically every week the Kardashian-Jenner family are bringing out a new product. This year alone, there's been Kim's skincare brand Skkn, Kourtney's range of vitamins Lemme and Kendall adding to her tequila brand 818's range with an eight year reserve bottle. And now Kim Kardashian is entering the interiors space, with her brand new range of homeware accessories. Is there anything this family can't do?
Kim posted on her Instagram account yesterday (29 September) to announce her new five piece homeware accessories range for her brand Skkn. The range will be released online on 6th October and features five products all made out of concrete - a vanity tray, a round container, a canister, a tissue box, and a waste basket.
Speaking to Architectural Digest Kim said she finds the grey tones of the products calming and wanted the new range to compliment her skin-care range.
She said: "I love concrete and grey tones, it feels really zen to me. When I was designing the packaging for my Skkn by Kim skincare line, I wanted the packaging to look really good in my own home. All my inspiration was concrete sculpture and varying shades of stone.
"For these new home accessories, I wanted to make sure they really complemented the skincare line, and were designed to display my products and elevate any home with modern, minimalistic elegance."
Many fans were quick to congratulate Kim on her new venture leaving comments underneath her Instagram post filled with heart eye emojis.
Everyone's clicking on...
However, some people called the new range out on Instagram and Twitter, calling it 'overpriced' and even asking why Kim was selling the products. The entire five piece bundle retails for £395, with individual pieces starting from £61 to £120 for the waste basket.
One person on Twitter said: "Why is Kim Kardashian selling $129 trash cans…?"
And another person on Twitter said even if they could afford the products they wouldn't buy them, writing: "Bruh not Kim Kardashian selling tissue boxes for $89 I wouldn’t buy that sh*t even if I was a billionaire are you ok?"
And a commenter on Instagram said: "$65 for a slab of concrete 😂😂😂."
Each to their own, I guess.
