Russian women are videoing themselves scissoring their expensive Chanel bags in protest at being barred from new purchases by their favourite brand.

Moscow models and influencers have accused the company of 'Russophobia' after Chanel pulled out of the country.

TV presenter, PR agent and actress Marina Ermoshkina, 28, expressed outrage to her 299,999 followers that in foreign Chanel stories Russian women are asked to sign a pledge they will not wear or display the brand in Russia.

'Not a single item or brand is worth my love for my motherland and my self-respect,' she said, cutting her accessory bag with industrial scissors.

'I am against Russophobia, and I am against Russophobia-supporting brands.

'If owning Chanel means selling my Motherland, then I don't need Chanel.'

I guess to paraphrase Otter, a stupid and useless gesture needed to be done on someone’s part, and these are just the people to do it.

‘Russophobia’. This is the term Putin’s state controlled media is pushing to deflect blame.

The women pictured in the article are attractive enough, but I think the cartoonish balloon lips really detracts from their beauty. They’ve been sold a bill of goods by the Hollyweird crowd that thinks mutilating yourself improves your looks...

Nobody is going to cutup a handbag worth thousands of dollars. Some of them cost well into 5 figures.

Those lips represent a trend that has gotten way out of hand.

I'm guessing the author doesn't know what "scissoring" means in many circles.

This is basically Europe’s Russia policy in reverse. That being said I have been waiting this type of sentiment from Russians.
