Do you think that perhaps, when Karl Lagerfeld gets a delivery of chicken-friend rice, that it comes in the Chanel take-away container above? We just can't imagine him eating out of a white paper Chinese takeout box, so this will just have to do.
The curious creation is one of the opulent accessories from the Chanel Pre-Fall 2010 Métiers d'Art Collection, which has finally made an appearance at Chanel boutiques like this one East 57th Street. The looks, originally presented on a barge on Shanghai's Huangpu River, borrow the classic qipao dress shape and even the stereotypical triangle hat worn by rural farmers (and rickshaw drivers in the olden days).
New York may be a long way from Shanghai, but for Karl, it doesn't matter if you're toting a take-away bag so long as it's a Chanel take-away bag.
