Luxury brand Versace has apologised after an image on one of its T-shirts appeared to imply Hong Kong and Macau were independent territories.

After fierce criticism on social media in China, Versace said it had made a mistake and had stopped selling the tops. 

It said it "respects the sovereignty of China's territorial state". 

Fashion brands Givenchy and Coach are also facing a backlash for not adhering to China's territorial claims.
