A Reddit user named Fine_Farm_8583 uncovered information about the bag being made from 'calf' leather, prompting backlash due to the young age of the animals involved. This backlash intensified because Alia is also served as an executive producer for the Amazon Prime Video series, Poacher, which sheds light on illegal ivory smuggling and its impact on elephants.
