Belle Chic Sorry About Tote Bag That Appears To Spell ‘Hitler’ In Glitter
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

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
