Julia Fox Says She’s Keeping the Birkin Bag She Got From Kanye West

Julia Fox‘s romance with Kanye West may have ended but not her ownership of her black ostrich leather Hermès Birkin bag he gave her for her 32nd birthday.

Fox revealed that she only carried the bag for a few days before putting it back inside the box it came in. She also discussed with the New York Times the “anxiety-inducing” feeling that comes with owning one of the pricey purses.

“I don’t know if you know about owning a Birkin when you’re not a rich person, but it’s like the most anxiety-inducing thing ever,” Fox said. “You’re checking on the Birkin, making sure it’s still there, that it didn’t magically grow wings. It’s scary to have a Birkin. It’s a lot of pressure.”

West, 44, gave Fox and four of her friends a bag, with a price tag starting at $10,000 while they celebrated Fox’s birthday at Lucien in New York City.

“Kanye wanted to make it special for Julia. He arranged for an extravagant birthday celebration. He showered Julia with gifts and even gifted her friends,” a source told PEOPLE at the time. “Everyone had a great time. Kanye was happy. Julia was ecstatic.”

Fox had previously shared her personal experience with West, whom she says transformed her style after they started their romance in the early part of January.

“After meeting him, a couple of days later, all my s— was in boxes, gone. It was so cathartic,” she told Interview Magazine.

“It wasn’t like I was just packing up my old clothes, it was like I was packing up my old life,” Fox added. “I was like making that very conscious decision to really put everything in the box. To let go of the past.”

The couple ended their fling last month. “Julia and Kanye remain good friends and collaborators but they are no longer together,” a rep for her told PEOPLE in a statement on Valentine’s Day.
