The Barbie x ALDO 2024 collection is inspired by the iconic '90s Barbie DreamHouse™ and consists of women's footwear, handbags, and accessories that embody the bold spirit of the iconic doll.
The latest Barbie x ALDO collection features two product themes, the Barbie DreamHouse™ Delights range that combines playful and colorful designs reminiscent of Barbie's classic home. The second, Barbie Pink & Denim Dreams range blends classic Barbie pink with nostalgic denim accents.
This collaborative collection is not only fun for Barbie collectors but will appeal to nostalgia-obsessed fashion fans thanks to its subtle Y2K references. Standouts from the collection include the Barbievanity Mini vanity bag with a heart-shaped metal ornament and the Barbiehills Stilleto Mule, featuring a rhinestone B (for Barbie™) against an all-over logo print background.
