I bought a Kim Kardashian Skims top – it ruined my designer bag and I’m warning others
SKIMS is known for its sculpting pieces designed to suit every body type.
Despite its major success, some of the garments from Kim Kardashian’s famed line have been cited by customers as leaving stains on their valuables.
Gigi, a woman whose designer bag was ruined by the dye on a Skims top, took to social media to caution others in a TikTok video.
It’s not clear what the color of the top was, but it left dark-colored stains on the woman’s brand new peach-colored Fendi bag.
She clarified that the top she was wearing was from Skims’s ‘New Vintage’ collection.
And despite washing the top before using it, it still left a significant amount of residue on her upscale bag.
