Brands have begun to adapt to EU directives.
Luxury fashion brands refuse to sell their products to buyers from Russia. This was reported by Kommersant FM.
Russian-speaking Chanel customers in Dubai and Milan faced the impossibility of making a purchase in the boutique, although the brand itself did not make official statements in this regard.
So the girl in Dubai was not sold a bag when they found out the phone number. It started with +7. Another Russian said they could sell the bag, but had to sign a paper stating that it would not be worn in Russia. She refused and was also left without a bag.
In Milan, a guy bought a Chanel bag at the request of his girlfriend and asked to take it to a hotel. When the bag did not arrive, he was told that he was Russian, so there would be no bag. He was offered a refund, but he sent an Italian woman for this bag.
Russian blogger Elena Bocharnikova also said that her sister was not sold a bracelet in Germany at Cartier. A few months later, she ordered a bracelet, left a 100% prepayment and returned to Russia. The other day the manager contacted her and said that there was a bracelet, but they couldn't take it away and sell it.
“The point was that I was sorry, but you're from Russia. They said they would return the money,” the blogger was outraged.
“This story began a few weeks ago, when some luxury brands began to adapt to the directives of the European authorities, which prohibit any export to Russia. If a Russian living in Russia buys, for example, a Hermes bag in France and takes it to Russia, it is considered export “, – explained the employee of the European boutique of one of the luxury brands.
“The latest clarification that has emerged recently is that it is still possible to sell to Russians if they prove that they are non-residents. And if they are residents of Russia, it is necessary to somehow prove that the purchased goods will not end up in Russia. “Everyone is completely confused here. It is unclear what documents can legally confirm this,” she added.
We will remind, in Russia sugar rises in price. Prices rose again, from 79 to 90-92 rubles. per kg.
