Nara Smith makes a Marc Jacobs Tote bag from scratch

TikTok foodie and content creator, Nara Smith recently made a red Marc Jacobs Tote bag from scratch using her oven and red dough.

Nara was recently famous on social media for allegedly stealing concepts from a South African chef and TikTok content creator, Onezwa Mbola.

With the red Marc Jacobs Tote bag making rounds on socials, internet users found another content creator, with the username @marykorlindowns who made and shared a similar video of a tote bag on TikTok last year.

Marc Jacobs took to their TikTok page to share a video of Nara making their tote bag from scratch.

An X user shared her views about the video on X.

Another user shared a video of a TikTok user calling out Marc Jacobs and Nara Smith for using the other user’s idea for commercial purposes.

Another user X shared a video of @marykorlindowns admitting that she made the tote bag first, even though she does not believe that anyone owns any idea, however, she said the disappointing part is hearing people complimenting Marc Jacobs’s marketing team and Nara.

The user captioned her post, “Lmfao Nara Smith is not beating the allegations shame, zinyanya zika Onezwa (Onezwa’s ancestors) are showing her for a fraud she is.”
