Cardi B faces the dilemma of choosing the perfect accessory for her outfit from her extensive collection of Hermes Birkin bags. The popular female rapper, who boasts approximately 101 million followers on Instagram and is a Grammy-winning artist, recently shared photos showcasing her in a form-fitting leather dress from the fashion house Mugler.

The images reveаl her visibly pregnant belly, and she pairs the outfit with red pants, a green crop top, and a rare Birkin Cargo bag. The decision to pick this particular bag came after contemplation among the approximately 30 Birkin bags displayed in her room.

 

Cardi B’s impressive Hermes collection includes designs featuring crocodile leather, vibrant colors, and sparkling embellishments, some of which were gifts from her husband Offset and her friend Kylie Jenner. In comparison to her Instagram post in October 2020, the 28-year-old star has significantly expanded her collection of luxurious accessories. Notably, Cardi B invested a substantial sum of $240,000 (over 5.5 billiоn VNԀ), triple the original price, to acquire the exclusive Birkin Cargo bag, which she had diligently sought worldwide.

As fans marvel at the extensive array of high-end bags owned by the “Bodak Yellow” rapper, some express astonishment at their value, equating them to the cost of several houses. Comments such as “I can’t even afford to look at this picture” and “Birkin could be Cardi B’s last nаme” highlight the opulence of her collection.

Last year, Cardi B responded to racially charged comments about her Hermes bag collection, defending her right to indulge in luxury items. She stated, “Why do people ask if female rappers can get a bag from the Hermes store? You don’t do that to white artists, so why ask us? Hip-hop, we set trends. When you sаy we devalue everything, no, we’re actually increasing the value.”

Offset, Cardi B’s husband, also addressed the controversy, advising against allowing online opinions to dictate what Birkin bags signify. He emphasized that accessibility to luxury goods for black individuals should not be a subject of debate.

In July 2020, Offset faced criticism for gifting their two-year-old daughter a pink Hermes Birkin bag worth around $10,000 (over 230 million VNԀ) for her birthday. In response to the public uproar, Cardi B defended the gesture, asserting that if she is stylish and her child is stylish, then there is no cause for concern.

She emphasized that only if she appeared extravagant while her daughter looked neglected would people have a right to comment, stating, “I’m not mаd that daddy bought baby a Birkin. She gon’ match mommy.”
