'Pure junk': Internet ridicules Kendall and Kylie's fashion brand as discounted merchandise surfaces in stores
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kendall and Kylie Jenner, who transitioned from reality television stars to fashion and beauty moguls, have successfully established a highly profitable global brand by adeptly utilizing their celebrity status, social media influence, and popularity among younger demographics.
However, the sister duo's ambitions of being taken seriously as high-end designers hit yet another speed bump this week.
Photos emerged showing Kendall + Kylie branded merchandise heavily discounted at retail outlets, sparking the latest round of public mocking and criticism, as per The Mirror.
Once more, the Jenner brand is grappling with doubts regarding the feasibility of prominently featuring both sisters' first names on their products.
Kendall + Kylie handbag was spotted being sold at over 70% off the original retail price
A black and white Kendall + Kylie handbag originally priced at $60 was photographed at a store being sold for just $16.99 - over 70% off the original retail price.
The discounted 'Kendall + Kylie' merchandise prompted mockery and criticism when the photo was posted on Reddit.
One critic bluntly remarked, "You couldn’t pay me to wear that."
Another user delved deeper into the issue, suggesting, "I feel like a big reason (not the only one I know) that their s**t doesn’t sell (aside from being s****y) is because they plaster their names and faces all over it."
This sentiment resonated with others, as a user questioned, "Why would I want their names on a bag I own?"
Echoing the sentiment, another individual stated, "I'm not a fan of anyone's name on a bag but especially not theirs."
The skepticism extended even to the discounted price, with one user asserting, "It’s not even worth the discount price."
Another user offered a succinct assessment, labeling the merchandise as "Pure junk."
Not the first time Kendall + Kylie has faced scorn over issues with its merchandise
The scrutiny over Kendall + Kylie merchandise is not a new occurrence. Last year, the brand faced similar disdain when its makeup bags were discovered at discount retailers, being sold at reduced prices.
This recent incident comes after a recent playful exchange where Kylie jokingly teased her sister Kendall about her fashion preferences. The duo, featured in a TikTok video cooking together, engaged in lighthearted banter that didn't go unnoticed by fans. While preparing pasta, Kylie couldn't help but mock Kendall's attire.
During a moment of playful banter between the sisters, Kylie proposed capturing a "hot sister picture," leading Kendall to highlight the disparity in their outfits. This sparked a humorous exchange, with Kylie suggesting Kendall change into something more fitting for the occasion.
Fans were delighted by this playful interaction and praised Kylie's wit and humor. Kylie continued to jest by referencing Kendall's past mishap with a cucumber-cutting video. While sipping her tequila cocktail, Kylie teasingly inquired about the lime, alluding to the earlier incident.
