Kourtney Kardashian is saving her designer clothes for her daughter to inherit when she's older.

The 39-year-old star has a huge collection of expensive garments and rather than recycle them or give them away she is stockpiling them to give Penelope, six, when she is grown up.

Speaking to People magazine, she revealed, "I just wore this little black Dolce & Gabbana dress in Italy and I posted a photo – I was with Domenico Dolce – and I saved that dress for her. I was like, 'She needs to have this someday.'

"I save things all the time and she always tells me, 'Can I have this? Can I have this?' And I'm like, 'What's mine is yours.'"

Kourtney admits Penelope is already very fashion conscious for a child and is obsessed with her famous mother's collection of designer handbags.

And Kourtney – who also has sons, eight-year-old Mason and three-year-old Reign, with her former partner Scott Disick – lets Penelope use some of her smaller bags now.

She added, "She likes to wear my bags a lot and I love mini bags, so I take a lot of her bags too."
