It's been six years since designer Jean-Paul Gaultier trundled out that banana leaf bag "inspired by the tropics,lillie eroticism in the evening" 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.
SEE ALSO: American kids try French food and it didn't go over so wellThe Thais use the fragrant leaf to wrap desserts such as sticky rice and custard. In Malaysia, it looks like a takeaway pack of nasi lemak -- the country's national dish that consists of coconut rice, chicken, egg, peanuts, anchovies and sambal chili.

The meme has surfaced yet again thanks to an article in Malaysia's World of Buzz.
Earlier this year, Thai-language publication Spokedark TValso featured it.
The bag has gone viral on social media, fuelled by the amusement of many Southeast Asians.

Gaultier, who left Hermes in 2010 after seven years at the helm as creative director, had reportedly said that the collection was inspired by Mexico, and ancient Inca culture. Uh, and Avatar.

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.
