The couple have recently been striking up new friendships with several different world renowned artists, including Jeff Koons, and earlier this month they attended Art Basel in Miami, Florida.
On Thursday during a shopping trip in the LA suburb of Woodland Hills, the 33-year-old proudly showed off her Christmas gift from her rapper fiance - a tan Hermes leather handbag customised with a nude painting by famous contemporary artist, George Condo.
While the cost of the finished product is not known, it can be estimated by the fact that a Hermes Birkin the size of Kim's retails for around $16,000 (£10,000), while one of Condo's paintings, The Manhattan Strip Club, sold at auction last year for a staggering $1.3million.

On Thursday, Kim also posted a photograph of the bag on her Instagram account, captioning it with a series of hashtags, including '#HandPaintedGeorgeCondo #HermesBirkin #OneofOne #ChristmasPresentFromYeezy'.
Kanye and Condo have known each other for several years after the rapper contacted the New York-based painter in 2010, asking him to create a series of paintings for his fifth studio album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

Happy: Kanye broke out a rare smile during the outing
Condo
has been acclaimed in the art world for nearly 30 years, and is
heralded as being a key figure in the 'international revival of
painting from the
1980's onward'.His work has been exhibited all over the world, and can currently be viewed in the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, both in the Big Apple.

The reality star kept warm in one of her favourite cashmere coats in cream and her tan stilettos matched her new handbag.
Meanwhile, Kanye went casual in a pair of light denim jeans tucked into Timberland boots and a grey sweater worn underneath a green padded parka.
The notoriously hot-headed star was certainly in a festive mood for once, grinning from ear-to-ear as he left the store with his bride-to-be.

The
36-year-old also showed that chivalry is not dead by carrying all of
the shopping bags while Kim concentrated on toting her new piece of art.
The pair appear as though they may soon be heading somewhere cold and snowy, for they stopped by Sports Ltd, a Ski and Snowboard shop where they stocked up on several items.
The couple's outing on Thursday comes after they spent Christmas Eve with the entire Kardashian clan at Kim's mother Kris Jenner annual Christmas party, held at her Hidden Hills home.

On the night, Kim posted a picture of herself puckering up with Kanye, alongside the caption: 'Kisses goodnight.'
The image followed an earlier shot of the pair posing with Kim's half-sister Kylie Jenner, which the reality TV star accompanied with two simple words: 'Mi Familia.'
Kris, 58, had her Hidden Hills, California mansion decked out for the soiree for her offspring, Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Robert, Kendall and Kylie as well as Kanye and Scott Disick.
The famous matriarch has been preparing for her annual extravaganza for months and the event was most likely filmed for the ninth season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
