Chanel is selling boomerangs for $2000

Unlike the Boomerang – the cash won’t be back.

Meet the Chanel boomerang. It’s the Chanel of boomerangs apparently.

It’s available online for purchase right now for just $1930 (AUD) YES! It comes with nothing else. The Spartan display page gives away very little details other than it is “black” and made of “wood and resin”. Nothing says Indigenous cultural heritage more than a French designer label.

What better way to kick off fashion week than with a throwback to the the sort of product you would have found on sale during the 80s heyday of overseas interest in Australiana.

It's not clear if any Indigenous artists were involved in the production of this fabulous piece of taste.

Chanel has told NITV News in a statement the company is "extremely committed to respecting all cultures, and regrets that some may have felt offended."
