Zara pulls controversial pyjama top

Fashion chain Zara has apologised and removed a children’s pyjama top from sale following complaints it resembled the clothing worn by Jewish prisoners in concentration camps.

The striped long-sleeved top featured a golden six-pointed star stitched on with the word Sheriff printed in light lettering.

Twitter users wrote “What were the designers thinking?” alongside links to the shirt, which now directs visitors to a message reading: “We are sorry. The item you are looking for is no longer available.”
