One wrote: ‘£95 your having a laugh! I’ll just donate £20 and write it on an old t-shirt,’ while another added: ‘£95 though!’
A third posted: ‘Are you really charging £95 for a t-shirt and only donated 25% scandalous Mrs Beckham.’
‘For a £95 t-shirt I’d expect more than 25% to go to charity, one fan wrote with another adding: ‘This is lovely and a great message also good % goes to charity BUT £95 for a tee still too much for me.’
MailOnline contacted representatives for Victoria Beckham for comment at the time.
