No but really. WTF? The company did end up pulling the shirt and apologized:
@ferry_meijer We honestly apologize, it was inspired by the sheriff’s stars from the Classic Western films and is no longer in our stores

“Accidental”?

Heh.
You had one job, and you came up with a concentration camp blouse? Slow clap for this @Zara designer http://t.co/eQKVxvbkjc

@Matthops82 @BecketAdams Zara's next item will be this cute white hoodie with eye slits…

As Mediaite reported, Zara had a similar problem before:
In 2007 Zara removed a handbag from its stores after it discovered the embroidered pattern contained swastikas.
But, hey, they apologized! Except then this happened:

No words. Luckily, Twitter users had some choice ones.

They can't be this stupid “@BecketAdams: You're doing this on purpose, aren't you Zara? http://t.co/oQlB0qqBrv”

That cannot be accidental. RT @BecketAdams: You're doing this on purpose, aren't you Zara? http://t.co/5RLBwo1GA8

@mwbowler @BecketAdams Yes definitely. Ppl give benefit of doubt for first offense (pjs); @ZARA shows true colors w/second.

@BecketAdams @iowahawkblog Clearly. Great eye Becket Adams. The word was completely unnecessary to convey the intent of the recall.

@BecketAdams @iowahawkblog Wow. You can't make this stuff up.

What’s next for Zara?
@lachlan @BecketAdams Next up @Zara announces it has reached a final solution to this PR blunder
— TinyShortBunkerInspectionHat (@Popehat) August 27, 2014
@JonahNRO Next up @ZARA will claim that the blouse never existed or, at least, its existence has been vastly exaggerated
— TinyShortBunkerInspectionHat (@Popehat) August 27, 2014
.@Popehat I hear @ZARA's co-sponsoring big conference in Tehran, explaining why the Zionists want us to believe that shirt happened.
