Do They Know It's Christmas in your local Louis Vuitton, Bono?

All credit to @AngryBritain on Twitter for the line. 

Background info if you don't know: Edun is an ethical clothing label was founded by Bono and his wife, Ali Hewson in 2005 to encourage trade with Africa, and in 2009 which Louis Vuitton took a 49% stake, hence Bono & Ali flossing with $1200 bags in the savanna in SA. Beyond the noise of how Edun assists Africa farmers in September of this year, Edun closed down their factories in Tunisia, Tanzania and Uganda and relocated to a factory...in China. Bono might just wanna change the strapline from Every Journey Begins in Africa to Everything is Made in China.
