#Byebyechanel, Russian influencers protest by cutting their Chanel bags

However, the claw of the double C is not the only one to have closed its stores in the country ruled by Putin, but it would have applied a more restrictive policy by denying the purchase to customers of Russian nationality or by asking them to sign a declaration of commitment not to wear their purchases in their homeland.

Between political and social tones, the question cannot fail to be the subject of strong debate. If on the one hand it is to condemn Russian discrimination on the grounds of nationality aloneon the other hand one cannot disagree with a courageous choice by the fashion houses – considering that in Russia they have a large share of their market.

Perhaps the controversy should be centered more on stopping a war that continues to claim victims. And, rather than to a handbag, the clean “cut” should be in the condemn a conflict which has already indelibly stained contemporary history.

As he writes Marina There will no longer be the public destruction of Chanel items, but those left unharmed will be put up for sale to obtain income for the victims of the war. Yeah… which ones? We speak only of those of Donbass – and it does too Anna Kalashnikova from his profile. No one, in this protest, has ever spoken directly of war or Ukraine, thus transforming a potentially just message into a sterile provocation from the “rich”.
