Belle Chic Sorry About Tote Bag That Appears To Spell ‘Hitler’ In Glitter
Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
All that glitters is not gold. Sometimes, it’s Hitler.
An online clothing store was flooded with criticism this week for selling a tote bag that looks like it says — well — see for yourself:

The loopy font on the bag is, of course, meant to spell, “My favorite color is GLITTER.”
The company, Belle Chic, posted a gracious Twitter apology and has reissued the bag with a clearer font.
We are beyond embarrassed about the design of our GLITTER tote bag ? ✨. We replaced it with a new design. Hope you like this one better! pic.twitter.com/1ZXGAOcnGj

But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
