If you could afford it would you buy your child a $48,000 purse? Well if you like high-end luxury and you are a collector yourself AND baby Kulture is your daughter you just might spend the money.
Cardi B recently purchased her 3-year-old daughter a $48,000 Birkin that was inspired by a purse baby Kulture fell in love with at Claires.
Cardi gave her followers a glimpse of the fancy purse as well as other accessories Kulture received for her birthday.
“Me & my best friend for life,” Cardi captioned the post, sharing a video of the bag:

According to Page Six Michelle Berk, CEO of Privé Porter, told them that the style and the inspiration for the customized creation came from a much more affordable place.
“Cardi and Kulture were at Claire’s, of all places,” she said. “Kulture saw a small bag with a rainbow and started begging for it.”
Continued Berk, “In typical Cardi way, she didn’t get that bag, but she called me instead to try to replicate that rainbow on a Birkin for Kulture.”
Berk went back and forth with Cardi for weeks to perfect the design, which required more than 30,000 colorful crystals in varying sizes, along with 100 hours of work to place them all.
The price for Kulture’s new rainbow-bedazzled Birkin? A cool $48,000, thanks to the added cost of customization.
“The Birkin is getting so big — so many women are finally getting one — that our biggest collectors are coming to us to create something that no one else has.
It’s that simple,” Berk told us, explaining why celebs like Paris Hilton and Jeffree Star flock to Privé Porter for blinged-out Birkins.
The luxury handbag dealer actually struggles to keep up with demand, but Berk said her customers “happily wait” to get their hands on their personalized purses, even when they can’t get an exact time estimate.
Well, it’s most definitely an investment that should appreciate in value! Comment below and let us know if you are loving Kulture’s new Birkin!
