Cardi B recovers missing Hermès Birkin handbag

Rapper Cardi B has recovered her missing Hermès Birkin handbag, which she had affectionately named ‘Esmeralda’. The artist previously expressed distress on social media, suggesting she had left the brown-and-cream leather bag at a hotel.

The missing accessory was located in the studio of her longtime celebrity stylist, Kollin Carter. While the original purchase price was not disclosed, luxury resale market comparisons for similar two-tone Birkin models suggest the bag could be valued between $32,500 and $38,500.
