Kim Kardashian's Skims offers refunds for $148 advent calendar after backlash
Kim Kardashian's Skims is offering customers refunds for its $148 (£110) advent calendar which has been widely criticised on social media. A spokesperson for Skims has told a number of media outlets "for some, the calendar didn't meet expectations" and the company has "personally contacted every customer" to offer a full refund or credit to put towards other products". The shapewear and clothing business was co-founder by Kardashian in 2019 and has made the reality TV star a billionaire, according to Forbes magazine.
One account on TikTok called spicychathouse compared the contents of the calendar to things "my cat collects from around my house". Another account said it looked like "a bunch of stuff that Kim Kardashian was emptying out of her bedside table". A number of accounts showed people cleaning out their own sofas and claiming they had accidentally created the Skims advent calendar.
