Cardi B shared photos of her 3-year-old daughter Kulture dripping in diamonds on Instagram on Tuesday, including a Minnie Mouse-themed necklace, blinged-out watch, and an armful of sparkling bracelets.
Her new yellow Hermès Birkin bag, however, was the ultimate accessory, covered in thousands of Swarovski crystals in the shape of a rainbow.

But, according to Michelle Berk, CEO of Privé Porter, the inspiration for the customized creation came from a much more affordable source.
“Cardi and Kulture were at Claire’s, of all places. Kulture saw a small bag with a rainbow and started begging for it,” she said.
“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,” Michelle added.
Michelle Berk worked with Cardi B for weeks to perfect the design, which required over 30,000 colorful crystals of varying sizes and 100 hours of labor to place them all.
The cost of Kulture’s new rainbow-beamed Birkin? A whopping $48,000, thanks to the additional cost of customization on the bag.
Michelle went on to say, “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,” explaining why celebrities like Paris Hilton and Jeffree Star flock to Privé Porter for blinged-out Birkins.

The luxury handbag retailer is struggling to keep up with demand, but Berk says her customers “happily wait” to get their hands on their personalized purses, even if they can’t get an exact time estimate.
Cardi B is expecting her second child with her husband Offset, and it’s possible that the “WAP” hitmaker has already begun planning a push present.
