Paint bombs thrown at Amsterdam shop selling crocodile leather jackets

Paint bombs were thrown at the facade of Karmaloog, a very expensive Amsterdam shop known for selling crocodile leather jackets among other things. When employees came to open the store on PC Hoofstraat on Monday morning, they found it covered in orange paint, AD reports.

Exactly why the store was vandalized is unclear. The owner does not want to speculate, only saying that the window is now clean again.

Karmaloog opened in February of this year. The brand was founded by two young entrepreneurs and is known as the most expensive brand in the Netherlands. A crocodile leather jacket, for example, can easily cost up to 100 thousand euros.
