Kendall Jenner steps out in black denim and a knitted vest for West Hollywood outing… amid controversy surrounding her tequila brand

She’s been accused of ripping off an Austin-based tequila company that shares a similar brand name, design and logo with her new 818 product, which is even made at the same Mexican distillery.

But on Friday, Kendall Jenner was spotted smiling ear to ear as she ran errands in West Hollywood.

The 25-year-old supermodel wore high-waisted black jeans with a knitted top for her day out.

Her outing comes just days after being accused of ripping off an Austin-based tequila company that shares a similar brand name, design and logo with her new 818 product, which is even made at the same Mexican distillery.

The accusation comes amid growing backlash faced by the Keeping Up with the Kardashian star over cultural appropriation claims, for naming her tequila label after her Calabasas area code 818, overlooking the spirit’s deep-rooted Mexican legacy.

818 Tequila by Kendall is marketed as being a twice-distilled blanco that retails at $44.99, while Austin’s Tequila 512 – that launched in 2012 – is a triple-distilled blanco and is priced lower at $26.99.

The alcoholic beverage company called out Kendall directly on Wednesday, when they posted about the supposed similarities to their product on their official Instagram page.

They claimed that while their product is distilled three times, Kendall’s is only distilled twice, yet she is charging twice the price of their bottles, both made in Jalisco, Mexico.
