OOPS: 'Hitler' Tote Causes Internet Outrage, Designer Apologizes

A Georgia company is apologizing after one of its tote bags, which reads, "My favorite color is glitter," appeared to some to say something much different. 

Angela Neilsen, owner of the company Quotable Life which makes the tote and other items says the controversial quote is the product of an honest mistake. 

The tote was removed from the Quotable Life website and from BelleChic.com, a retail website where Neilsen sells some of her products, and replaced with a revised tote bag with a more readable font (AKA, a capital "G" and some extra curves).

"To demonstrate our commitment to running a clean, family-oriented business based on respect for all, we are donating 300% of all proceeds ever received from the sale of our discontinued glitter tote bag to the National Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC." said a Facebook post by the company. 

Still, many noticed the flub and took to social media.

"It's on the internet, it's going to be there forever," Neilsen said. "But at the end of the day, maybe it will make other designers, everyone who does what I do for a living, step back and take a closer look."
