BREAKING: Louis Vuitton Employees
Incident at Louis Vuitton
Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams visited the Louis Vuitton store at Oakbrook Center,
dressed casually in sweats, a hoodie, and sneakers, to buy a birthday gift for his mother.
Witnesses say employees mocked his attire and questioned if he “belonged” there.
Williams’ Response
Despite being a top NFL star, Williams said nothing, turned around, and left, showing “character far greater than any designer label.”
A fan later shared the story online, sparking widespread outrage.
Public Reaction
Louis Vuitton apologized, calling it a “regrettable error.”
Fans praised Williams’ dignity: “He walked in with kindness.
They treated him like a thief. But Caleb Williams walked out with something no store can sell — integrity.”
Impact and Conversation
The incident reignited national discussions about profiling Black men in luxury spaces.
Social media embraced the hashtag #NeverJudgeByClothes, with one post stating,
“Caleb Williams didn’t need to wear Louis Vuitton to prove his value.
He wears character — and that’s always in style.”
