Several Russian influencers and customers claim to have been prevented from buying Chanel<\/strong> products. One influencer even accused the fashion house of “Russophobia<\/strong>” for not allowing her to shop in a Dubai shop.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “As I often come to Dubai for Fashion Week, Chanel officials recognised me, approached me and said : ‘We know you are a celebrity in Russia, we know you will bring your purchases there, so we cannot sell you our brand’s items<\/em>,” Kalashnikova<\/strong> said in her Instagram post.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Meanwhile, Russian interior designer and influencer Liza Litvin<\/strong> posted an Instagram story detailing a similar experience, again in Dubai. In the post, Litvin claimed she had to sign a document at a Chanel outlet stating that she did not live in Russia and would not wear the bag on Russian soil. “I went to a Chanel shop in the Mall of the Emirates. They didn’t sell me the bag because (mind you!)

We have forgiven everyone for everything, turned the page and made room for the future. However, if this path is a ring road, we will break this vicious circle<\/em>.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
