In celebration of Chinese retailer CLOT's 20th anniversary, they collaborated with McDonald's to release a collection that features streetwear apparel and new meal packaging designs. The collaboration was first unveiled by CLOT founder Edison Chen who made the collection exclusive to only the Asian region.
The meal packaging in the collection has changed to a Silk Royale design pattern that reflects China's ancient formalwear. The design is also applied to the button shirts that feature a black and red button shirt and a red and yellow colorway. They also contain Chinese button knots, the McDonald's trademark "M" logo, and Chinese symbols. Other items in the collection feature hoodies, commemorative tote bags, and travel cups. The CLOT x McDonald's collection is available for purchase.
