Good morning, TikTok is absolutely roasting Chanel over its 2021 advent calendar. Confused? Lost? Wondering if you, too, should spend all your money on random advent calendars? (You probably shouldn’t.) Allow us to explain.
Basically, Chanel decided to celebrate the holiday season by selling a fancy advent calendar for $825, which seems…high! But then again, it is Chanel, and if you love designer, you already know your way around a beauty ~investment~. Anyway, TikTok user Elise Harmon went ahead and bought the calendar so no one else had to and posted a series of hilarious unboxing videos.
Apparently, the items included in the cal didn’t exactly live up to what people were expecting based on the price tag.
Elise’s videos got a ton of views, and naturally, Chanel started trending on Twitter…
…leading Elise to speculate that she’d been blocked by Chanel.
However! Chanel claimed this wasn’t the case at all, telling People, “The recent claim of a person being blocked by Chanel on TikTok is inaccurate. We have never blocked access to the Chanel TikTok page to anyone, because it is not an active account, and no content has ever been published. The page therefore appears empty to anyone who visits it. We are committed to sharing our creations with our followers on all social networks we are active on. Our pages are open to everyone, and our followers are free to express their feelings and opinions, whether they are enthusiastic or critical.”
And that brings us up to date. Wow, the holidays truly are a glorious time!
