H&M sparks fury for selling ‘offensive’ striped scarf which looks like Jewish prayer shawl
- H&M is selling a £12.99 scarf which looks like the tallit prayer shawl
- It has the same striped design and knotted ends as the ‘ritual item’
- Twitter found the fashion design disrespectful and ‘offensive’
- H&M has apologised for any offence caused
High-street retailer H&M has come under fire for selling a striped scarf which looks remarkably similar to a traditional Jewish garment used for prayer.
The controversial striped accessory is currently on sale for £12.99 on the shop’s UK website.
But Twitter users noticed the design was reminiscent of a tallit scarf, in the same cream colour with black stripes and knotted ends.
