Default Marks & Spencer apologises after 'covert racism' complaint about bra colours

Marks & Spencer apologises after 'covert racism' complaint about bra colours

Aug 11, 2020

Marks & Spencer has apologised after it was accused of "covert racism" over its bra colours.

Kusi Kimani, 29, from East Sussex, was shocked when she discovered a brown bra on the retailer's website was called "tobacco".

The lighter colours of the £12 Marks & Spencer Collection padded bras are described as "cinnamon" and "fudge".

Ms Kimani complained about the bra for her skin tone carrying negative connotations, while more positive words were used for lighter colours.
