The bag, named Esmeralda, was stolen from a hotel, leaving Cardi B devastated. In a recent post on X, she lamented, \"I f-vkin lost her\" and \"Its the only bag missing\" referring to her beloved Birkin. The original post also featured an older video of Cardi posing with the exotic brown Birkin, which she affectionately called \"Her name is Esmeralda.\" The news of Esmeralda's disappearance was met with shock from fans, as Birkins are notoriously expensive, often costing tens of thousands of dollars. Cardi B has a collection of 40 Birkins, but the incident has left her feeling disheartened. The rapper had a busy year, performing on her Little Miss Drama Tour, traveling to Italy for a fashion show, and releasing her hit single \"AH HA.\" Despite her recent success, the loss of her cherished Birkin bag has understandably left Cardi B feeling profoundly sad.",
