Kylie Jenner and Cardi B face backlash over Stormi and Kulture's expensive bags

Cardi B defended gift, saying: 'If I’m fly, and daddy’s fly, then so is the kid'

Kylie Jenner and Cardi B are facing backlash after gifting their two-year-old daughters expensive designer purses.

On Wednesday, the Kylie Cosmetics mogul posted a photo of her toddler Stormi Webster sitting with a white $1,180 miniature designer purse on Instagram with the caption: “Coolest baby to ever do it.”

The purse in question is called a Nano Speedy and it is described as “a perfect miniature version of Louis Vuitton's iconic Speedy bag” on the designer’s website.

“Extremely lightweight and large enough for a smartphone, cards and keys, it is a stylish way to carry essentials,” the description reads.

On social media, fans criticised the 22-year-old for giving her daughter the pricey purse.

“Kylie Jenner's kid photographed with a bag that cost nearly two thousand pounds. It stings. It’s like having your poverty rubbed in your face,” one person tweeted. “Who does that? Doesn’t she know the world has families struggling now? Is she that detached from reality?”

Another said: “Kylie Jenner buying her daughter a Louis Vuitton purse, only for Stormi to likely fill it with crumbs and boogers… much to think about…”

“Enough @KylieJenner. So many people are suffering right now in this world no one wants to see your baby holding a designer bag... come down to earth please and help people who need it instead of flaunting your incredibly non-deserving bank roll,” someone else tweeted.

The two-year-old’s white designer purse is just the latest in her collection, however, as she and her cousins previously received black versions of the same bag from Kim Kardashian, who shared a picture of the eight matching Louis Vuitton bags last year with the caption: "I got these for all the baby girls in the fam for Xmas from Japan."

Jenner later shared a video of the moment Stormi was handed the purse, showing her excitedly grabbing the bag before swinging it over her shoulder.

Cardi B and Offset are currently facing similar judgement from fans after they shared a video showing them gifting their two-year-old daughter Kulture a mini pink Birkin bag worth an estimated $8,000.

Shortly after sharing the video showing the toddler unwrapping the purse, the Bodak Yellow rapper defended the child’s gift in an Instagram video.

“I hate when celebrities buy their kids jewellery and designer sh*t and people be like: ‘Kids don’t care about that. They only care about toys and candy.’ Yeah, kids only care about toys and candy but the thing is kids also go outside,” Cardi B said. “Kids go to restaurants, kids go to fancy places, kids go to red carpets. And if I’m fly, and daddy’s fly, then so is the kid.

“If I’m wearing [Chanel], my kid’s having the same thing. It’s not up to what the kids like. If it was up to kids, they’d be outside in diapers.”

The rapper concluded the video adding: “So I’m not mad that daddy bought baby a Birkin. She gonna match mommy.”
