Victoria Paris sparks outrage by wrecking a $5,000 Gucci bag for 'art'

Internet personality and creator Victoria Paris made her viewers despair with her behaviour. The girl destroyed a Gucci handbag.

Victoria Paris is an American influencer whose career took off thanks to TikTok. The creator posts lifestyle content, touching on various elements of her daily life: fashion, fitness, travel, interior decorating, etc. Nearly 500,000 people on Instagram follow Victoria, while she has amassed up to 1.9 million followers on TikTok.

At the end of April, Victoria posted a video on her profile which did not appeal to viewers, unlike her other materials. In the video, the influencer deliberately destroys a luxury Gucci handbag for a really "serious" reason.

The video quickly disappeared from the influencer's profile as soon as she realized that people were not thrilled with what she had done with the Gucci bag. For many, the item is an unattainable luxury good. However, nothing is lost on the internet, so the video can still be watched on the Floor channel, which briefly remarks on the material: "capitalism."

Victoria first unpacked a brand new Gucci bag valued at almost 4,000 euros, or almost CAD 5,665. This particular model, the Jackie 1961 large shoulder bag, is currently unavailable on the website. The bags cannot be bought "off the shelf." Later, the girl carelessly grabbed the bag and hit it against the stairs in the garden with all her might. She did this to... achieve a worn effect.

Victoria’s viewers were furious and couldn't believe what they saw. "Why?" "For what reason?" "I don’t understand" were examples of the most frequently repeated comments. Internet users also emphasized the lack of respect for money.

"And yet most of us are deciding between buying gas or food this week lol" - one internet user commented.

Of course, there were also voices of people who defended the influencer. "It's her money, so she can do whatever she wants with it" - comment fans.
