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 n#de painting by famous contemporary artist, George Condo The design features several eerie n#de 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.
His work has been exhibited all over the world, and is currently on view in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Kim's bag took centre stage as she stepped out in an ensemble of whites and creams.
The mother-of-one put her curves on display in a pair of white tight trousers and a Henley top unbuttoned to show off her cleavage.
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.
The 36-year-old also showed that chivalry is not dead by carrying all of the shopping bags while Kim concentrated on toting her new piece of art.
The pair appear as though they may soon be heading somewhere cold and snowy, for they stopped by Sports Ltd, a Ski and Snowboard shop where they stocked up on several items.
The couple's outing on Thursday comes after they spent Christmas Eve with the entire Kardashian clan at Kim's mother Kris Jenner annual Christmas party, held at her Hidden Hills home.
On the night, Kim posted a picture of herself puckering up with Kanye, alongside the caption: 'Kisses goodnight. The reality star looked stunning in a leopard print top, while Kanye had shunned his usual eccentric style for a smart suit with a crisp white shirt.
The image followed an earlier shot of the pair posing with Kim's half-sister Kylie Jenner, which the reality TV star accompanied with two simple words: 'Mi Familia.'
