Skims dropped their wedding line on Thursday, March 28.

The line includes intimates, lingerie, pajamas, shape-wear, and more, but sharp-eyed fans have noticed the flawed item was pulled from the collection.

According to followers documenting the company’s error in an online forum, Skims initially posted a photo of the bridal thong three-pack on their Instagram account.

Several fans noticed the spelling error and pointed out the faux pas in the comments.

The company has since deleted the original Instagram post and has removed the product from their website.

Fans participating in the online forum discussed the major spelling error.

“How did no one catch this, there has to be at least ten people that green light s**t,” one follower ranted.

“How did absolutely no one notice this before literally making the product?” a second asked.

“I’ve seen Kim use the wrong ‘your’ many times,” a third fan pointed out.

“That’s so embarrassing,” a fourth follower remarked.

Kim Kardashian slammed as ‘out-of-touch’ for showcasing wall of magazine covers and mannequin of herself at SKIMS office

SPARKING CONTROVERY

It isn’t the first time Skims has released a product sparking conversation.

Last year, Kim modeled a bra featuring faux nipples.

In the ad, Kim dressed up as an instructor and introduced the “brand-new bra with a built-in nipple.”

The trio pack had embroidered romantic phrases and one read 'Your Mine' instead of 'You're Mine'

Kim wore the bra underneath a skin-colored, tight Skims top.

“So no matter how hot it is, you’ll always look cold,” she said while removing her top to show off the nipple prominent bra cups.

“Some days are hard but these nipples are harder,” Kim concluded the ad.

Fans reacted on social media pouring into the Skims post.

“This is so funny,” one fan reacted as another added, “I love it!”

“Kim, this is genius,” shared a third while one user said, “Got to give it to you girl, you’re a marketing genius.”

SNEAKY SKIMS

Also last year, Skims sparked more controversy when The U.S. Sun reported the company was under legal investigation.

Zimmerman Reed, a “nationally recognized leader in complex and class action litigation,” was looking into “several dozen” claims that the site allegedly used software programs to record visitors’ activity.

Caleb Marker, a partner in the firm’s Los Angeles office, told The U.S. Sun that they were “building a case against Skims,” although they hadn’t yet filed a formal lawsuit.

“We are working on a case against them for violation of the California wire-tapping act,” he said.

“I think at this point we have several dozen [claims], which came in over the past few months.

“It’s our understanding that the software is always running on the site, anyone that’s been to the website will have likely been monitored and tracked.

“If they were logged in with an account, they can definitely pair that up, they can connect that to a human being with their email address and name.”

COPYCAT?

Although Kim was safe in that instance, Skims has been accused of ripping off other designers in the past.

Last year, Kim released a New Year’s Eve line of sexy dresses and critics were comparing the line to an Agent Provocateur dress.

Kim’s Skims design featured a floor-length silky dress with unique straps and cutouts.

A sharp-eyed fan took screen grabs of the Skims design and noticed several alleged similarities between the dress and one designed by Agent Provocateur.

The fan found screen grabs of Dorit Kemsley wearing the Agent Provocateur design from a 2021 Instagram post.

Fans compared the design side-by-side with images from Skims website.

In the photos Kim was featured in for the campaign, the dress was yellow, but on the Skims site, the dress is advertised in black.

The Agent Provocateur design appeared to only be available in black.
