Forget scraps of paper - when you're the offspring of arguably the two most famous people in the world, you have access to an altogether more fabulous canvas. Namely, an Hermès Birkin.

Kim Kardashian has revealed that her 16-month-old daughter North gave her the customised bag - worth thousands of pounds - for her 34th birthday last week.

'Kanye had a box [with an Hermès bag in it] and I opened it up and it was all painted really cool and on my computer was this message that said 'Play', and it was a video of my daughter sitting outside painting the purse,' Kim told US Weekly.

'I had thought it was this new artist who had painted this purse [but] it was my daughter. It was amazing.'

Not that you need crazy dollar to impress Mrs West these days.

She added: 'Kanye took me away for 24 hours and was like, "What do I get the girl that has so much?" Sleep and no paparazzi and shopping at The Gap.'

'We spent two hours shopping at The Gap and we haven't been there in years. We bought cream sweaters - we bought like five of them and we're going to reconstruct them and make things out of them.'

No wonder, then, that North's got an instinct for customisation.
