You know, you don’t HAVE to buy the boomerang. Or any boomerang. And Chanel shouldn’t care who it may have ‘upset’.
It’s an object made by tons of companies through the years using different colors and materials. It’s in every tourist shop and Halloween shop.
So why don’t these people bust the others’ balls about it?
Because Chanel is perceived as “WHITE” and it has tons of $$$, that’s why.
Here’s what it looks like at the Chanel website. I’d buy one, but I already bought a Chanel bag that ‘fell off the truck’.
I’m kidding! I would never do that!
It was a Kate Spade.
And now, here’s the article drama queening about the whole thing.
A real boomerang doesn’t come back. It’s a hard, heavy, curved stick carved into an airfoil to provide lift for longer throws, because it’s heavy.
If they are worried about cultural appropriation, they got it all wrong, who knew?
Wallaby is good eatin’.
It’s the Onion to normal people, the loony bin for those who buy it, the crying towel for those who find it upsetting.
good gravy, it’s come to this?
Take it from me, a Mossberg 500 works much better….

“A real boomerang doesn’t come back.”
In Alabama, we call that a stick.
Maybe if they worded it right their apology will boomerang right back to them!
@Davy, yeah, and sushi is bait, I get it.
What about Outback Steakhouse?
Really savoring watching all these pretentious designers falling all over themselves trying to impress
their liberal clients by attempting to look hip, relevant and politically savvy.
Note to Chanel, Tom Ford et al: when you step on your own appendage….it hurts.
