Cardi B’s daughter uses her R1m Hermès purse as canvas
Imagine spending more than a million rand on a handbag only to have your child draw on it…
Many kids go through a phase where they love to draw on anything and everything – most often, the walls at home. But now and then, little ones take their creativity to unexpected places.
While it’s usually an innocent mishap, it can be a bit heartbreaking when their artistic expression ends up on something valuable. Some people might find it cute, but Cardi B was not one of them.
The rapper recently took to Instagram Stories to vent her frustration after discovering that her six-year-old daughter, Kulture, had turned her custom Hermès handbag into a personal sketchpad.
“I literally spent $60,000 on this purse,” the mom of three said from behind the camera while zooming in on a small, black heart drawn on the front of the accessory.
The video was copied and shared on YouTube – check it out below.

We can understand how the handbag might lose value in the fashion world, but we think it’s cute that this little girl left a cute heart for her mom.
Children at that age won’t understand the value behind vandalising a custom-made handbag. Kulture probably just wanted to leave her mom some love and thought she was doing something sweet.
For context, the Bright Hermès Kelly 28 in Jaune Mimosa Matte Crocodile with gold hardware retails for $61,697.04 – or about R1, 126,001,83.
Many parents chimed in to share their views.
“At least she didn’t go ham and scribble all over it! My daughter scribbled all over my jeep with a rock!”
“I mean, on one hand, I get it because it is really expensive, but I also think it’s super cute and adds a bit of charm to it.”
“Now it's personalised, and no one else has it...”
“This happened to me my daughter wrote her name on one of my expensive purses. All I can say is I still walk around with that purse with her name and when she gets older, I’m passing that purse down to her.”
It may not be ideal, but it’s certainly a one-of-a-kind "Kulture" creation.
