Italian fashion brand Fendi is caught up in a dispute after having been accused of
erroneously describing the Chinese cultural roots of one of its recent products' design as Korean.
该产品采用类似中国结的编织工艺，品牌在宣传中却将其标注为“韩国传统结”，暗示其源自韩国传统文化，引发热议。
The dispute centers on a handbag featuring woven designs apparently resembling the Chinese Knot, a traditional decorative Chinese handicraft with a history spanning thousands of years, which Fendi's promotional materials attributed to Korean craftsmanship, implying ties to Korean heritage.
事件发酵后，“FENDI文化挪用”话题迅速登上热搜榜。大量网友指责该品牌涉嫌“文化剽窃”。
After it is reposted on Chinese social media platforms, numerous net users suspected the brand of appropriating Chinese cultural elements, pushing this topic onto the trending topics chart on Sina Weibo on Thursday afternoon, with one related hashtag becoming the second trendy topic on this platform.
Fendi客户服务中心的工作人员表示，他们收到了大量关于该问题的询问，并表示已注意到这一情况，已将其转交公司相关部门进一步调查核实。
In response to the controversy, Fendi's China customer service said on Thursday afternoon that they had received numerous phone calls regarding the issue, adding that they have taken note of the situation and have already referred it to the company's relevant departments for further investigation and verification.
舆论风波后，FENDI已经在海外社交网站上删除或隐藏了相关内容。
Later on Thursday afternoon, the relevant promotional content by Fendi was no longer visible on Instagram. The system indicated that the content may have been deleted by its owner or hidden according to privacy settings.
中国结是一种起源于唐宋时期的民间艺术，明清时期流行的装饰手工艺品。它独特之处在于其复杂的图案是由一根线编织而成的。
Chinese Knot is a decorative handicraft that began as a folk art in Tang and Song dynasties and became popular in Ming and Qing dynasties. It is distinctive as its complicated pattern is woven from one piece of thread.
