Poor font choice on a tote bag accidentally made 'glitter' look like 'Hitler' — and people are freaking out

The INSIDER Summary:

• Belle Chic, an online retailer, is under fire for selling a bag that looks like it says "My favorite color is Hitler."
• The bag actually said "My favorite color is glitter."
• This horrifying misprint is the result of bad font choice.
• People were not happy. 
• Belle Chic pulled the bag and re-released it using a different font.

The fashion world certainly has its fair share of controversies.

Belle Chic, an online retailer, found itself at the center of the drama on July 23 when a poor font choice transformed a tote bag from girly to problematic.

Because the designer used an illegible script font, it looked like a tote bag sold by Belle Chic said "My favorite color is Hitler" instead of "My favorite color is glitter."

A picture of the bag went viral, and, needless to say, the internet had a lot of thoughts about it.

Some people were confused about how this happened. 

Meanwhile, some Twitter users had a snarky field day.

Others used this situation as an opportunity to remind everyone just how critical fonts are in the design process.

All in all, this looks like a big mistake. Belle Chic apologized for the error and re-released the tote with a different, readable font.

Hopefully, this will be Belle Chic's first and last fashion fail.
