So the question on many a Kardashian fan's lips is just why her younger sister Khloe would have scavenged the accessory from the throw-out pile when Kanye cleared out his girlfriend's wardrobe.
But Khloe looked mightily proud of her arm candy as she arrived for a flight at Los Angeles' LAX airport on Wednesday.

And while the Limited Edition Monogram Sac Thunder Tote isn't something many people would aspire to own, it doesn't come cheap, with a recommended retail price of $3,550.

Kim's hand-me-down: The expensive bag featured

West cleared out his girlfriend's closet
Not impressed: Kanye disliked the bag, but Kim wanted to keep it for a future daughter to inherit
