What do you get the girl who just spent 11 minutes in space? A $7,000 Judith Lieber purse.
That’s what Lauren Sanchez was gifted by her close friend Kris Jenner and her daughter Khloe and Kim Kardashian.
On Wednesday, April 16, Lauren, 55, took to social media to share the purse which was designed in the shape of an Unidentified Flying Object, writing: “Out of this world.”
‘We are so proud of you!’
Now sold out, the purse retails for $6,995 and features silver baguette and geometric crystals all over, with a black centre covered in stars.

Judith Lieber Couture has found a sizable celebrity following in recent year; Taylor Swift is among those to own a Judith design as she was gifted a microphone-shaped bag by Tavia Hunt, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, and her daughter Gracie.
The purse is available in three crystal-encrusted color variations: silver, gold, and black Hematite, each retailing for $4,995.

Both Kris and Khloe were at the West Texas launch site to cheer on Lauren, as well as Katy Perry, CBS anchor Gayle King, rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, bioastronautics research scientist Amanda Nguyen and film producer Kerianne Flynn, all of whom took part in the historic all-female space flight.
The crew of Blue Origin’s NS-31 blasted off from West Texas on Monday April 14 and after a 11-minute ride, achieved a successful landing.
“I came back to Earth…but something in me is still up there,” Lauren told fans in a social media post that featured a video of the moment zero-gravity took hold during the flight.
“There’s a silence in space that somehow made everything feel more alive. I looked down at our planet and felt how fragile and beautiful it all is. And how deeply connected we are,” she continued.
“This flight wasn’t about escape. It was about perspective. About making space — for wonder, for courage, for anyone who’s ever questioned if they belong.”

Kim and Lauren have, in particular, cultivated a close friendship in recent years, often spotted attending high-profile events together including the Chanel and Charles Finch pre-Oscar dinner, and vacationing together luxurious destinations across the world.
“Lauren and I are always sending DMs building each other up,” Kim once revealed to Vogue. “Every time there’s a look that we like, she’ll say, ‘WOW,’ or, ‘OMG, you look amazing.'”
Lauren helped Kim to celebrate 44th birthday in October, sharing a heartfelt tribute on social media.
