Victoria Paris sparks outrage by destroying £3,100 Gucci bag

Victoria Paris is an American influencer whose career skyrocketed thanks to TikTok. The creator shares lifestyle content covering various aspects of her daily life: fashion, fitness, travel, interior decorating, and more. Victoria is followed by nearly 500,000 people on Instagram and has garnered up to 1.9 million followers on TikTok.

At the end of April, Victoria uploaded a video to her profile, which, unlike her usual content, did not sit well with viewers. In the video, the influencer intentionally destroys a luxury Gucci handbag for a supposedly "serious" reason.

The video quickly vanished from the influencer's profile - as soon as she realized that people were not impressed with her treatment of the Gucci bag. For many, the item represents an unaffordable luxury. Nonetheless, nothing is truly lost on the internet, so the video is still accessible on the Floor channel, which briefly noted on the footage: "capitalism".

Victoria first unboxed a brand new Gucci bag priced at nearly 3,600 euros (approximately £3,100). The Jackie 1961 large shoulder bag, as this specific model is named, is currently unavailable on the website. The bags cannot simply be purchased "off the shelf." Subsequently, she carelessly took the bag and slammed it against the stairs in the garden with all her might to achieve a worn look.

Victoria’s audience was incensed and couldn't fathom what they were witnessing. "Why?". "For what purpose?". "I don’t understand" are some of the most common comments. Internet users also highlighted the disrespect for money.

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

Naturally, some individuals defended the influencer. "It's her money, so she can do whatever she wants with it," commented one of her fans.
