A Russian influencer has been mocked for getting a new Chanel bag after taking part in a high-profile socialite stunt to scissor her last one in protest at Western sanctions over Vladimir Putin ’s war.
In April, Monaco-based model Victoria Bonya, with 9 million followers, led the anti-Chanel campaign by wealthy women Kremlin backers.
At the time the 42-year-old said in English: “I have to say if Chanel House does not respect its clients, [why] do we have to respect Chanel? Bye-bye.”
