Cardi B is pulling out all the stops for a date night.
On Tuesday night, the rapper shared her full glam look, posting a carousel on Instagram, wearing a floor-length mink coat and carrying one of the most coveted bags out there.
Captioning her post, “PRIMETIME,” Cardi carried a green croc colorway of the rare Jean Paul Gaultier x Hermès Birkin bag.
Though already sold, a pink one was previously available on the secondary market for $75,000.
According to People magazine, Jean Paul Gaultier has claimed that only 10 of Cardi B’s specific color bags were ever made, estimating the price to be closer to $120,000.
The bag was designed in 2004, during Jean Paul Gaultier’s tenure as Creative Director of Hermès — a position he held from 2003 to 2010.
We know the bag well: Kim Kardashian is working on collecting them all.
After revealing on “Call Her Daddy” that she was trying to buy all of the versions of the collaboration that exist, she shared on TikTok that momager Kris Jenner bought her a bright red one to add to her collection for her 45th birthday.
Kardashian was formerly displeased with Jenner, revealing to Alex Cooper, “I want to collect every one, but they are so rare you can never find them,” adding, “I was raging” when she found out Jenner had taken that information and turned around to buy her sister Kylie a black one she had been eyeing.
Flipping through Cardi’s post, she revealed that her boyfriend, Stefon Diggs, coordinated his look to hers, cuddling together in a booth wearing a short fur jacket.
Just barely in frame, the pic also reveals a giant Hermès Birkin made of camel-toned croc—dwarfing the 33-year-old’s exclusive JPG style.
While Cardi hasn’t been seen with this specific bag before, it’s unclear whether it was an early Christmas gift or simply a seldom-seen treasure from her collection.
Regardless, she seems enthralled with her accessory, featuring multiple glamour shots of the bag along with her date night snaps.
