Emily Mariko, best known for her viral salmon bowl recipe, is facing online criticism for selling expensive canvas bags. Imagine a shopping bag. A really big shopping bag, with a wide opening to fit all your farm-fresh groceries, wide straps to evenly distribute the weight as you carry mandarin oranges, eggs, and cabbage, and one that you’ll forget about and leave to rot at the bottom of the fridge. It’s 100% cotton, made in the United States, and available in ballet pink or a beautiful faded olive color.
How much would you pay for such a bag? $30? $50? (For comparison, the largest classic L.L. Bean Boat and Tote bag costs $45).
What about $120?
That’s how much Emily Mariko’s bags, the ultra-popular content creator, are priced at. She gained fame through viral videos of her recipe for using leftover salmon. Emily started selling her highly anticipated products on her website on Monday.
In case you’re not familiar, Ms. Mariko is an influencer who rose to fame in 2021 by teaching millions of people how to combine salmon, rice, sriracha sauce, and mayonnaise into a tasty bowl. (The trick involved using ice cubes in the microwave to heat the rice to the right consistency). She then gained millions of new followers who silently watched her unpack her groceries and cook in her always impeccable kitchen. Ms. Mariko typically doesn’t speak in her videos, giving them an ASMR-like feel. Her planned wedding in 2023 has been hailed as a silent masterpiece of luxury.
In the days leading up to the bag release, Ms. Mariko posted teaser videos to her nearly 13 million TikTok followers.
