Chanel takes it the WRONG way...

What do we think of this?

Chanel is launching a line of limited edition line accessories to coincide with the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, which starts on 1 May.

The range features Chinese motifs such as china dolls, dragons...



....  and a takeaway box??


Uh oh... massive FAIL, Chanel! A take away box does not a tradional Chinese symbol make. It is merely the Americanization of Chinatown and a cheapening of its culture. Noone in China even eats out of boxes like that!

Not to mention the fact that its a damn fugly accessory.

Tsk tsk Chanel... *shakes head*. Not pretty.
