Clothing company apologises for offending Travellers with 'racist slur' social media post

Martin Collins, PAVEE Point, said the post was offensive

An Irish online clothing store has apologised after they used a “racist slur” to promote a sale across their social media accounts.

Vinyl Vintage Clothing has since taken down the post in which they encouraged customers to use the promotion code “caravan”, and used a term, Tinker, that is deemed racist and derogatory by some members of the Traveller community.
