Zara Pulls Swastika Bag

QUOTE - [Angry customers were left wondering if high street chain Zara had created a collection based on Nazi chic when they found stores selling handbags with swastikas on them.

Bosses at the trendy chain were forced into a grovelling apology after being flooded with complaints about the £39 handbag which has a green swastika at each corner.

The holdall-style bag - which also has flowers and bicycles stitched into it along with the two-inch swastikas - has been slammed by anti-racism campaigners, who called its design 'abhorrent'.

Guia Cleps, 20, from London, working at a PR company, said: 'I'm Jewish so I'm absolutely shocked. I wonder how they could let this happen?'

Another woman, who did not want to be named, said: 'How could it get through to the stores? Why didn't they realise earlier?'

Zara which has 50 stores in Britain more than 1,000 worldwide apologised using the symbol of the world's biggest race hate campaign as a fashion symbol.] - Metro
