The buyer compares displays at luxury brand Coach’s Sydney history to Balenciaga’s controversial “slavery” ad campaign and calls for a boycott, but not everyone is on his side.
- A buyer has called for a boycott of the designer brand Coach
- The woman criticized the brand for the Disney collection
- She linked the displays to Balenciaga’s controversial ad campaign.
- The video has divided the internet.
A shopper has called for a boycott of designer brand Coach, comparing the brand’s collection of Disney-inspired accessories to Balenciaga’s controversial ad campaign.
TikToker hellyquinn uploaded a video Tuesday of the Sydney Coach store and her reaction to seeing the Coach X Disney collection on display inside.
He points the camera at shelves containing a collection of bags and stuffed animals, including Ursula from The Little Mermaid and Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty.
All the bears in the Coach store (Cruella De Vil pictured on the left and Maleficent on the right) wore necklaces.
Text pasted over the video reads, “And boycott coach is on the list,” followed by a vomit emoji.
‘Am I seeing this right? This is a joke?’ she asks herself as she approaches the Disney toys with leather collars around their necks.
“I thought this would be the kind of thing I would see at Balenciaga. We have boycotted that kind of disgusting child pornography.
TikToker hellyquinn posted a video Tuesday to his 54,000 followers, urging them to ditch designer brand Coach along with other ‘disgusting, dirty brands’
‘Boycott coach, make that a trend.’
Balenciaga sparked outrage in November after he used photos of children in a bondage-themed ad campaign.
The children also appeared surrounded by empty wine and champagne glasses.
Coach launched the collection starring Disney’s most iconic villains last year, which also includes Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmatians, the Evil Queen from Snow White, as well as the adorable characters Ariel and the Dalmatians.
Hellyquinn’s TikTok followers were deeply divided over the controversial video, with more than 1,200 comments.
Some thanked the buyer for alerting them to the collection and vowed to “never buy Coach again.”
“That’s why people need to support local businesses so that these big companies have less power over time,” said one.
Others were confused and questioned the point of the video.
‘I can’t see what I’m supposed to be looking at… can someone explain?’ said one user.
‘I’m lost, I don’t see what’s wrong,’ said another.
“People’s minds are so corrupted by social media that they’re turning everything into some kind of sick paedo.”
Daily Mail Australia contacted Coach Australia for comment.
Balenciaga came under fire in November last year for using three children posing with bondage-clad teddy bears in an ad.
