Must read

Several Russian influencers are outraged at Chanel over the sanctions the fashion brand has imposed on Russia and the Russian people. That is why the influencers decide to cut their very expensive Chanel bags.

Like several large companies, Chanel also closed the doors of all stores in Russia. But this is not all. For example, Russian people who buy Chanel items outside of Russia are not allowed to take and use their items in Russia.

Interior designer Lisa Litvin experienced it herself. “I went to a Chanel boutique in Dubai. They didn’t sell me the bag, because I’m (Attention!) from Russia!!!”, she wrote furiously in her Instagram Stories. Litvin was only allowed to buy the bag if she signed an agreement stating that she would not take the bag to Russia.

Chanel’s sanctions have caused a lot of anger among Russian influencers. One of them is Victoria Bonya. “If Chanel doesn’t respect its customers, why should we respect Chanel? I’ve never seen a brand as disrespectful as Chanel does to their customers,” she said in a video showing her wearing a Chanel bag and scissors in her hands. After cutting the bag, Bonya says, “Bye, bye.”

TV presenter Marina Ermoshkina, who has 300k followers, also decided to cut her Chanel bag. She took it one step further by doing that with a hedge trimmer. “No bag and no thing is worth my love for my motherland. I am against Russophobia and against a brand that supports Russophobia, ” Ermoshkina says in a video. “Chanel is just an accessory. An accessory that at some point decided to humiliate people, my compatriots, and discriminate on the basis of nationality. I cannot tolerate that.”

Dj Katya Guseva also supported the action. Before cutting her Chanel bag, she said in an Instagram video: “I always dreamed of having a Chanel bag in my wardrobe and that dream came true last year. But I decided to remove these bags from my life after hearing about the policy. of this brand towards Russians. We Russian girls are beautiful, with or without Chanel bag.”
