It's simply a misappropriation of aboriginal culture.
Chanel is a big company and they really should know better. I don't see how this is different from a cheap fake boomerang sold at the airport. It's just an expensive version of this.
Chanel is extremely committed to respecting all cultures, and regrets that some may have felt offended
They should donate the money they make with this to the campaign against fake culture so we can lobby the government to do something about this problem
This current case gets a lot of attention because it's Chanel. But it happens on a huge scale and it happens all the time. Not just with boomerangs but with paintings, didgeridoos and other things.
Chanel and other luxury fashion brands hate it when people steal their logos and make copies of their products.
