Cardi B rocked a ridiculously roomy Chanel bag during a recent family trip to Disneyland Paris, and fans can't help but wonder what the purpose of such an oversized designer bag is.
The 31-year-old “Bodak Yellow” rapper was spotted with husband Offset at the amusement park on July 10 in honor of their daughter Kulture’s sixth birthday. In paparazzi photos circulating online, Cardi B (real name Belcalis Almanzar) could be seen sporting an oversized silver Chanel travel bag with a chain strapped to her shoulder.
A similar Chanel travel bag, quilted in silver, sells online for more than $12,000.
The “WAP” singer paired the giant Chanel bag with a floral-print, halter-neck maxi black dress, black flats and her dark hair slicked back with bangs. She was joined by the Migos rapper, who was seen pushing her two-year-old son, Wave, in a $4,900 Dior stroller.
For the family outing, Offset, whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus, was dressed casually in a black long-sleeved printed shirt, black and white cargo shorts and a thick silver chain.
When photos and videos of Cardi B's silver Chanel bag went viral online, many social media users were left perplexed by its unusual size.
“The size of the Chanel bag… it took my breath away!” wrote one fan on X, formerly Twitter.
“I NEED TO KNOW WHAT’S IN THOSE BAGS YOU’RE CARRYING ASAP,” another user exclaimed jokingly.
“I don't think I've ever seen a Chanel that big,” wrote a third person, while another said: “Why is her bag so BIG lol?”
The “Up” rapper is known for her penchant for designer handbags. In 2022, Offset gifted Cardi B not one, but six Chanel bags for Valentine’s Day. A year earlier, he also gifted his then three-year-old daughter Kulture a dazzling Hermès Birkin bag worth nearly $50,000. In photos posted to Instagram, the artist showed her daughter posing with the luxurious, custom yellow bag.
The bag featured more than 30,000 Swarovski crystals designed in the shape of a rainbow and clouds, customised by Privé Porter. Michelle Berk, CEO of Privé Porter, toldPage Six Style At that time the custom design emerged from a bag that Kulture had initially seen in the accessories store Claire's.
According to Berk, Kulture had “begged” her mother to make her a small rainbow bag, but Cardi decided to ask Berk to “try to replicate that rainbow on a Birkin” for the three-year-old. Berk said they worked “back and forth” to perfect the design, which took 100 hours of work to complete.
The average price of a Birkin bag can range from $12,000 to $200,000.
