HARARE – Shoppers at a popular boutique in Sam Levy’s Village couldn’t believe their eyes when 29-year-old Brighton “Breezy” Mupfumi was caught trying to leave the store wearing three layers of designer clothes under his jacket.
According to witnesses, Brighton pretended to be trying on outfits in the changing room, but instead of putting them back, he stacked a Gucci hoodie, a Louis Vuitton shirt, and Balenciaga jeans all at once — then walked out like nothing happened.
His plan fell apart when a security guard noticed he was “sweating like a sauna” and his jeans looked suspiciously bulky. After being stopped, Brighton allegedly told the guard, “I thought if I wore them out, they would become mine by default.”
Photos of him being escorted out with the designer tags still attached have gone viral on Zimbabwean Facebook, with some calling him “Mr. Balenciaga Borrower.”
Should he face jail time or just be made to work in the shop for a year? 🤔🛍️
