"Several Russian influencers and socialites say they've been barred from purchasing Chanel items and were told it was the brand's policy not to sell to customers who intended to bring the products back to Russia.
Anna Kalashnikova, a Russian socialite and influencer, posted on her Instagram account on Sunday accusing Chanel of "Russophobia in action." She said she hadn't been able to buy a pair of earrings and a bag at a Chanel outlet in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
"Since I often come to Dubai for Fashion Week, Chanel managers recognized me, approached me, and said: 'We know that you are a celebrity in Russia, we know that you will take your purchases there, so we cannot sell you our brand items,'" Kalashnikova said in her post.
She said the experience reminded her of how "Coco Chanel was not only mistress of a Nazi" but was a fascist agent."
