“I love quirky stuff!” reads the caption written alongside the video shared on Instagram. The video begins with a text overlay that reads, “Eat the biscuit and create quirky fashion.” As the video goes on, the woman can be seen cutting the empty packet of Parle-G. She then attaches the cut-outs between two transparent plastic sheets and secures them with a black thread. She even adds a red-coloured cloth to the bag’s border and attaches a chain to create a sling bag. A text insert on the video reads, “If Balenciaga can, so can we!”
