Default Is Avalon in India?

I did a search for Avalon 7536 sunglasses, and I got a whole mess of pictures of people from India with titles in funny script I can't read. Why is that?

As long as you're here, let me tell you what I've learned on this search. This dress is evidently in a pattern or color called "Monkey Picked Oolong." Why? Let me share this with you:

"Monkey Picked is one of the famous Tie Guan Yin-style teas of the Anxi area. It is grown in tiny gardens, high in the mountains of Fujian Province. The tea presents a forthright, ambiguously fruity floral aroma, light yet persuasive flavor, and a liquor the color of green bananas. There are many tales about the origin of the name, the classic being that local monks convinced monkeys to climb the tall, wild tea trees and bring them the new leaves from the top. Tea picking is an art in itself; the monkeys must have been very well trained! We like to think that the pickers got into precarious places, reaching for hard to get tips, looking like monkeys themselves, scrambling in the trees."

From what I was able to gather online, Avalon is the stuff of British legends. India was a British colony for a long time, so I'm sure there's a lot of UK influence in India.
