Members of the Sikh community are speaking out against Gucci for attempting to profit off of turbans. The fashion brand debuted its turbans back in February 2018, with the product being modeled by white models. The turban recently went viral after it was discovered selling for nearly $800 at Nordstrom. It has since been removed from the retailer’s site following uproar over the brand’s cultural appropriation of a religious item. Many pointed out how the turban is not a “hot new accessory,” but rather a meaningful article of clothing that holds deep significance.
