Grey Brazil launches anti-racist handbags for Zumbi University's zero racism program

Despite gaining repercussions in mainstream media, scenes of people of colour or other marginalised groups being humiliated in stores by having their bags searched under accusations of theft, it remains a routine reoccurrence in Brazilian retail stores.  

To combat racism in stores, Grey created 'The Anti-Racist Handbag' in partnership with Universidade Zumbi dos Palmares for their Zero Racism program. The program aims to end racism in consumer environments and to raise awareness of Law 14.532/2023. 

Several key factors make the Anti-Racist Handbag marketing effort stand out:

1. Designer Handbags: Designed by local artisans, the first handbag by stylist Naya Violeta, is bold and noisy, hard to ignore: 

a. Handbags will be distributed to more than 15 influential personalities who will amplify Zero Racism's message of ending racism and to raise the profile of Law 14.532/2023.  

b. Additional designers have been sourced to create their own version of handbags, with the next design to be unveiled the week of April 1st.  

2. Law 14.532/2023: Each bag displays a label on the inside citing the law - those forced to open their bag will have the law on their side. Additionally, thousands of labels are being distributed to individuals to be placed inside their own bags. 

3. QR Code: Provides an immediate and easy way to report an incident to legal authorities.  

4. Proceeds: A portion of the revenue from sales of the handbags goes directly to Zumbi to provide antiracist training for staff.  

Manir Fadel, CCO and CEO of Grey Brazil, shared, 鈥淣aya designed a very impactful, powerful, and functional bag. Her talent and vision will empower Brazilians and raise awareness of the Zero Racism movement.鈥  

The Dean of the University of Zumbi dos Palmares, Professor Dr. Jos茅 Vicente, says that the aim of the campaign is to draw attention to the situation, which in most cases occurs with Black people. 鈥淥ur goal is for more companies to become familiar with the Zero Racism program and to join the initiative, training their staff to become antiracism agents. Moreover, we want people to be aware that there is a channel for anyone who suffers any type of racist offense in shops to report incidents to the legal authorities.鈥  

The marketing effort kicked off on March 21st with a video of Violeta talking about the creation of the bag and the importance of raising awareness about the law. Manir noted, 鈥淲e are already being approached by other designers about the effort, and social influencers are embracing the opportunity to expand and empower Brazilians with this important initiative. We couldn鈥檛 be prouder to be involved with the University and the Zero Racism program.鈥
