It's good to know there are still people with money to spend. Hermes hosted a ceremony last week to present a cheque to actor Jackie Chan towards his charitable organisations.
The proceeds were from sales of the French brand's limited-edition Les Tigreaux scarf, which was designed and sold specifically to raise funds for the action star's causes. Doing the honours was David Ma (pictured with Chan), the label's Hong Kong general manager, who handed over HK$1,555,000.
'On behalf of more than 10,000 children from The Dragon's Heart Foundation, I am here to thank Hermes for its generous support,' Chan said. The silk scarf was sold only in Hong Kong and Macau, so that's a lot of people willing to spend more than HK$3,000 for a scarf. If you hear a 'boing' sound, that'll be the economy rebounding.
