Why did Khloe Kardashian scavenge Kim's hideous fur-trimmed Louis Vuitton bag... that even Kanye knew was bad taste?

It's the hideous fur-trimmed Louis Vuitton bag that was deemed too bad taste for Kim Kardashian to carry by her eccentric fashion-loving boyfriend Kanye West.
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.

Thifty! Khloe Kardashian carried Kim's fur-lined Louis Vuitton bag and wore her $1,695 Givenchy boots as she arrived at LAX for a flight on Wednesday

Looking stylish: The boots looked much better on Khloe, who is several inches taller than her petite sister

Gaudy: The Limited Edition Monogram Sac Thunder Tote has a recommended retail price of $3,550

The 28-year-old star let the gaudy bag take all the glory, going for a muted look with the rest of her outfit in black jeans and a grey cardigan.
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.

 

In an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians last August, Kim was seen trying to persuade Kanye to let her keep the bag, after he deemed it trash-worthy while cleaning out her closet.
'It's a dog bag, no?' asked the stylist Kanye brought along to help.

Not impressed: Kanye disliked the bag, but Kim wanted to keep it for a future daughter to inherit

But Kim didn't give up, asking Kanye: 'Shouldn't I just keep this for, like, my daughter one day?'
However, Kanye failed to appreciate her hints that they might one day have a family, instead remaining pointedly silent.
Of course his reticence was just for show - as a few short months later Kim is now pregnant with their first child.

Kim had them first! The reality star wearing the distinctive Givenchy boots in Hawaii with Kanye last August

And the bag isn't the only piece of Kim's former wardrobe that Khloe appears to have adopted.
As well as carrying the bag at LAX, Khloe was also seen wearing Kim's Givenchy's $1,695 Shark Lock fold-over wedge boots.
Kim was first seen wearing the eye-catching boots when she visited Hawaii with Kanye in August.
But it seems the shoes don't feature in Kim's maternity wardrobe, with Khloe now making them her own.
