In a controversial move, Dutch modest fashion brand Merrachi released a promotional video showing the Eiffel Tower draped in an Islamic headscarf, triggering backlash in France. Shared on social media with the caption, “Spotted: The Eiffel Tower wearing MERRACHI, mashallah!” the animation was met with outrage from National Rally politicians.
