Chanel has been on the Russian market for over 20 years. Clothing and accessories of the French fashion house are popular with the stars of show business and true fans of the classics. But now some Russian celebrities have declared “war” on the brand on the Internet. On the eve of Chanel confirmed that they are limiting the possibility of buying in their boutiques for buyers from Russia.
“The latest sanctions restrictions of the European Union and Switzerland prohibit the sale, directly or indirectly, of luxury goods to any person, entity or entity in the Russian Federation or for use in the Russian Federation,” Chanel said in a statement for RBC Style.
Russian celebrities reacted sharply to this decision of their favorite brand. Some even managed to get into the headlines of well-known Western tabloids. They started a protest online. The girls posted a video on the Web how they “cracked” Chanel bags, cutting accessories worth about 400 thousand rubles with scissors. TV presenter Victoria Bonya, DJ Ekaterina Guseva and PR agent Marina Ermoshkina joined the protest flash gang.
British tabloid The Mirror published an article about Russian star girls who are faced with the problem of buying iconic Chanel bags. It all started when blogger Elizaveta Litvinova complained on the Web that a French House boutique in Dubai was being rejected. “They didn’t sell me bags because I’m Russian,” the girl said. Anna Kalashnikov faced a similar situation.
