Golriz Gahraman allegedly attempted shoplifting

One possibility that comes to mind is that Golriz was over-enthusiastically pursuing evidence of unsustainably or unethically produced clothing. If she has evidence of something like sweatshop and/or child labour produced clothing it would go some way in explaining why the boutique is not commenting for fear of blowing the story open.

As I said above there is more to this than is being divulged so far and in the absence of facts the rumour mill is working overtime.

I think that is grasping at straws unfortunately.   Scotties sells well known high-fashion brands and advertises them on its web site.  There is no need for anyone to physically take away samples as the brands can easily be researched on line.

Another suggestion on Twitter has been that Golriz was previously supplied with clothing by Scotties as a promotional initiative, the agreement had expired and Golriz absentmindedly took some clothes (or accessories) thinking that the agreement was still current.   I think that's grasping at straws also.

The most likely explanation to me is that she suffers from kleptomania, a well known mental disorder.
