The daughter of rapper Kanye West and reality TV star Kim Kardashian, North West, received a bag that features her mother’s crying face. Kardashian shared the gift on her Instagram, noting that Meta, the platform’s owner, is controversial and faces bans in some places, including Russia.
North’s custom Alexander Wang crystal bag showcases a meme from 2012 in which Kardashian sobs during a taping of Keeping Up with the Kardashians after her highly publicized 72-day marriage to basketball player Kris Humphries. The image of her distorted, tearful expression became a hallmark of internet memes and playful parodies, turning a private moment into a widely recognized cultural reference.
“Omg I’m stealing this bag from the North,” the reality personality quipped in a lighthearted post, underscoring the playful, social-media-driven moment behind the gift.
A similar Heiress bag, but without Kim Kardashian’s face, is available for $695, offering a more neutral interpretation of the same luxury accessory design for shoppers seeking a comparable piece.
Earlier, North explored a stage persona. At ten years old, she adopted the nickname Miss Miss Westie and introduced her father during a joint performance with Ty Dolla $ign at an outdoor party in Miami. The nickname is noted in a track that is slated to appear on Kanye West’s forthcoming album, Vultures, hinting at a blend of family influence and creative experimentation within the project.
Meanwhile, public figures continue to discuss cultural irony in various contexts. Ivan Okhlobystin recently clarified the hidden meaning behind a famed moment from the film Irony of Fate, illustrating how public interpretation can differ from the creator’s original intention.
