Those same bags could be sold for $300, but Cardi B wouldn't be interested. That she thinks is makes sense to spend that kind of money on a bag is telling. It's all in the perception of value. This is nothing more than charity work on her part -- free advertising for whatever design house is selling these overpriced bags at a markup of thousands of percents. With her fame and influence, she could have launched her own luxury brand or helped launch one founded by a person of color.

When I get on, I'm going to start a line of overpriced men's apparel.
