British luxury fashion label Burberry has announced the launch of another virtual collection, this time a limited-edition Lola handbag collection that will be sold exclusively through Roblox, a leading metaverse platform that allows its users to dress in custom digital apparel.
The new collection consists of five bag variations, each of which is a unique digital take on Burberry's signature Lola bag. Here, the Lola bag comes dressed in a variety of planet-inspired patterns and designs, which include imagery of flowers, water, clouds, and foilage.
"We are excited to welcome Burberry to our platform with this creative accessory line that expands our already vast collection of avatar personalization options with luxury items created in collaboration with our community," said Christina Wootton, VP of global partnerships at Roblox.
