In a recent TikTok, the rapper took fans through a visual tour of the eye-catching accessories she’s acquired on her travels to New York, Paris and Italy over the past five weeks. “Some of them are extravagant, and some are a little bit calm,” she said before diving into the haul, which she kicked off with a showy red, yellow and black Chanel Maxi Flap Bag.
“I bought her today,” Cardi shared, revealing that her previous attempt to buy the purse in stores was foiled. “I went to Chanel to try to get this bag. Guess what: I got there too late. Jordyn Woods got there before me, 30 minutes earlier, so she snatched the last bag that they had of this one in New York.”
Fortunately, Cardi was able to get her hands on it before her appearance at Kehlani’s concert in Brooklyn, N.Y., on Friday (Aug. 21), which saw the Bronx native modeling the bag and a jacket-skirt combo with the same print on stage as she performed “Ring” with “my baby Lani,” as Cardi referred to the August 2026 Billboard cover star in her TikTok haul.
The Whipshots founder went on to show off a large black tote and furry polka-dot handbag from Chanel, a roomy forest-green Bottega and two Hermès Mini Kelly purses. At one point, Cardi’s eldest child started to make some noise in the background, prompting the hitmaker to hilariously yell, “Kulture!” before switching from stern mom mode back to fashion vlogger.
Each of the purses Cardi showed off is worth several thousands of dollars, with some in the tens of thousands range. The star has long been forthcoming about her love of luxury bags, a passion that led to her becoming an ambassador of high-end resale platform Fashionphile in May. In a video for the company posted earlier in August, Cardi jokingly pleaded “not guilty” to spending too much money on luxury bags, explaining that she sees the purchases as investments.
“[Kulture] is always in my closet,” Cardi told E News! in May about her 8-year-old daughter’s shared love of fashion. “I’m about sick of it, but she already knows the rules — my clothes, whatever, and my shoes, whatever, but don’t touch Mommy’s purses.”
The spitfire shares Kulture with estranged husband Offset, as well as son Wave and daughter Blossom. In November, she welcomed a baby boy with then-boyfriend Stefon Diggs.
In July, Cardi dropped her first new song since topping the Billboard 200 with sophomore album Am I the Drama? in October. Titled “AH HA,” the single debuted at No. 25 on the Billboard Hot 1 00 .
