Are luxury companies like LVMH, boasting brands like Hublot, TAG Heuer, and Tiffany & Co., actively supporting Israeli companies? The significant investments made by this conglomerate have sparked ethical concerns, prompting a reevaluation of the propriety of associating with these luxury brands.
While Bernard Arnault may be at the helm, the moral acceptability of his company’s financial involvements is under scrutiny.
Louis Vuitton
Louis Vuitton, under the ownership of LVMH, has heavily invested in Israeli companies through its owner, Bernard Arnault. Those opting not to support Louis Vuitton products or engage with the brand or its parent company may be expressing opposition to these affiliations.
Chanel
Chanel’s failure to address the attacks in Gaza, despite significant pledges, has drawn criticism and sparked calls for boycotts of their products and services. This negative reception indicates a need for the company to enhance its ethical stance.

Tiffany & Co.
To avoid supporting the significant investments in Israeli companies made by Tiffany & Co. under Bernard Arnault’s LVMH ownership, it’s advisable to refrain from purchasing or selling their products and to avoid any professional associations with the company or LVMH.
TAG Heuer
Given TAG Heuer’s substantial investments in Israeli companies, as part of LVMH under Bernard Arnault’s ownership, it is recommended to abstain from buying or selling TAG Heuer products and to avoid any connections with either TAG Heuer or LVMH in a professional capacity.
Hublot
Bernard Arnault’s leadership at LVMH raises ethical concerns regarding Hublot’s investments in Israeli companies. Therefore, it’s prudent to avoid purchasing or selling Hublot products and to refrain from engaging with Hublot or LVMH in any professional capacity.
The economic support provided by these luxury companies to Israel is undeniable. As individuals committed to peace and anti-colonialism, we are urged to refrain from purchasing or consuming products from these luxury brands due to their strong financial ties with Israel, the occupier of Palestinian land.
