A Melbourne Instagram influencer and two employees from luxury fashion brand Fendi have been fined after holding a private product viewing despite stage four restrictions.
The woman and two Fendi employees have each been fined $1652, Nine reports.
It comes after the woman posted a video to social media last week showing the staff members appearing to hold a viewing party of the designer clothes and handbags in her Melbourne apartment.
"You're the first one seeing this first darling, like literally, like literally," one of the workers can be heard saying in the clip.
The woman also uploaded a photo of the representatives holding bags of the luxury items, saying it was the "“best service ever" and "an amazing experience”.
Shops are closed under Melbourne's current lockdown restrictions and residents are not allowed to have visitors in their homes.
When asked about the party last week, Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said that behaviour was "not on".
“No one should be going into any homes regardless of how well-heeled the client may be or how luxury the goods may be, no matter what you’re selling or what price you’re paying,” he said.
“This virus does not discriminate … Victoria Police . . can have a close look at that, because that should not be going on, if indeed it is.
“You just can’t be having people into your home, unless it’s absolutely necessary.
“You can have a plumber come to your house if you’ve got a pipe that’s burst and you can have an electrician come if there’s some urgent issues with the wiring or something of that nature.
“But there’s nothing urgent about a luxury handbag.”
