I believe most frum people don’t know which designers are anti semites. What about all the people who shop at shein which clearly supports Palestine? What’s their excuse?

How does Shein support Palestine?
Amazon sells Palestinian flags, "free Palestine" and "from the river..." merchandise. Does Amazon support Palestine? Did you stop shopping on Amazon?

Just for the record- Karl Lagerfeld is not an anti-Semite. His parents were Nazi sympathizers but he has always proven himself to be pro-Jews. He even helped fund a shul being built in France by holocaust survivors

I have this same question. I still shop on Shein.
I can't afford frum stores and my teenage DD and myself need tznius clothing. Shein is a marketplace, just like Amazon or Walmart. Are people also starting to boycott every single platform that sells anything to do with Palestine?

How are you okay with supporting an anti semite? It's astounding how many jews support strong and outspoken anti semites.

He died already. Noone can support him

The clothing we put on our children do matter. It makes a statement that isnt lost on the kids, even little ones.
We learned that the three areas that we clung to in Mitzrayim ensured our Jewish continuity - Language, Names and Clothing.

Clothes do make the man.

We should all take that into account before putting some garment into our children's closets.

I'm not commenting on this or that clothing line (or budget), just saying that this topic isnt trivial. It bears a lot more weight than we know.

If chassidish schools made a rule like the yeshivish schools. Polo's only from 7 we wouldn't have this problem. Though I think it would have to be taken a step further only solids and no words. On the other hand I'd feel bad for the poorer kids because their aren't designs in the cheap department stores with polos.

Target had very nice striped polos for boys this summer.

He wasn’t so bad. He was a gay fashion designer who worked for Chanel. Read why he was labeled antisemitic. He’s anti Muslim and a compulsive liar.
I wouldn’t get a $99 sweatshirt for a toddler but if people do, good for them. I don’t think the picture is any worse than South Park pictures and no I wouldn’t put my kids in that either.
Sometimes people get things for their kids without realizing what it is. Especially in other countries.
What frum store was carrying this? A store that is owned by frum people and only caters to frum people? Or a store owned by frum people that everyone shops at?

I guess this made me think

Just a man with a cat? It's KL with Choupette, his uber-famous cat who he wished to marry if it was possible.

Coco *Chanel was herself a nazi. That has absolutely nothing to do with Karl Lagerfeld though, who has spent most of his life working for Jews and has only proven a pro Jewish opinion through actions and words

And to someone who mentioned Tommy Hilfiger, he is not an anti-Semite or racist and never has been. It was a mean email rumor from years ago that had literally zero basis

Hugo Boss was a Nazi supporter and used forced labor to make Nazi uniforms. As a result after WW2 he lost his company

Louis Vuitton also was possibly a Nazi supporter as they strongly supported the fake government officials Hitler placed in France during his occupation

Half the women buying this have absolutely no idea who the image is of.
They know KL as a designer but not what he looks like necessarily.

It’s on the store owners for stocking this. Completely pathetic.

Made you think what? That he was trans? He wasn’t. He was gay.
