Belarusian woman bought Mark Formelle jeans for her child — and found a mysterious note with Chinese hieroglyphs in the pocket
The discovery surprised the woman, as she naively believed that one of the most famous Belarusian brands sews clothes in Belarus.
Belarusian woman Maria published a photo of the strange find on Threads. She bought jeans for her child from the domestic brand Mark Formelle, and a piece of paper with handwritten Chinese hieroglyphs turned out to be in the pocket.
By the way, if you translate the text into Belarusian, there's nothing unusual about it: someone simply noted down information about the jeans (model, color, size, and so on).
Maria herself believed that Mark Formelle sewed clothes in her homeland, so she was very surprised. She even tagged the brand's official account to get an answer to the question: "How is this possible?"
Belarusians in the comments started joking and offering their own translations:
"It says: 'I am a little Chinese, sewing jeans for Uncle Formelle, save/help me, they make me work in stockings!'"
"The week is long. The silver cat eats. When blue meets yellow in the west. A trip to China sounds not bad if you go carefully."
"Well, this is written in Zaslaŭje's trasianka (a mixed language). Everyone speaks like that in Zaslaŭje."
Someone considered the find not accidental: "This is a sign that you need to learn Chinese, it's very promising now!"
And a Chinese language tutor took the opportunity to advertise her services: "Sign up for Chinese with me. I'll teach you to read all the notes from pants."
