Corporate and partnership fallout from Pandorogate
The controversy damaged Ferragni’s relationships with commercial partners, contributed to the departure of Fabio Maria Damato, ended her Tod’s board tenure and led Angelini to abandon the fragrance project.

Pandorogate
The Italian Competition Authority found that the Balocco pandoro campaign could mislead consumers into believing that purchasing the Ferragni-branded product would contribute to charity. The regulator said the relevant donation had been made separately and that Ferragni and her companies did not donate sales proceeds as consumers were led to expect. Fines totaling €1.075 million were imposed.
