Millie Mackintosh criticised by fans for this Instagram post

Yikes.

To be fair, it wasn’t the best idea.

Millie Mackintosh has come under fire from fans regarding a photo she posted to support Anti-Slavery Day.

Former Made in Chelsea star Millie was showing how she supported the good cause by sporting a special tie designed by Beluah London for the occasion.

That sounds like a thoughtful thing to do but unfortunately, the post included a Chanel bag, a fact some Instagram users took issue with.

Millie attached her #BlessItForward Beluah tie to the embroidered Chanel Bag and unsurprisingly, it has attracted some negative feedback.

in the caption accompanying the post, which has since been deleted, Millie wrote:

“Each tie has been block printed and sewn by vulnerable and trafficked women in Kolkata, providing them with a sustainable, alternative livelihood and chance to rebuild their lives in collaboration with #KeyToFreedom”.

Comments on the post included:

“Anti-slavery scarf on a Chanel…ironic”.

Someone else wrote:

“Unfollowing this idiot”.

The post has since been removed from Millie’s Instagram account which would suggest she saw the irony of the post.

It’s safe to say people aren’t impressed.
