It's been six years since designer Jean-Paul Gaultier trundled out that banana leaf bag "inspired by the tropics,Watch What Every Frenchwoman Wants Online" but people still can't get over how much it looks like a pack of street food.
The clutch, which was part of a 2010 couture collection for fashion house Hermès, is pretty much the exact size and shape of a parcel of banana leaf-wrapped food that you can find on the streets of Southeast Asia.

While you might struggle to recall banana trees in Avatar, it's clear that the bag is a dead ringer for the humble pack of nasi lemak.
