Italian blogger Chiara Ferragni, also known as The Blonde Salad works alongside Disney to craft a five-piece range of Minnie Mouse shoes. The series of limited edition footwear launches April 5th and will be comprised of two silhouettes -- a mule and a slip-on sneaker. Ferragni is a natural choice for Disney to tap when branching into the space of high fashion. The five footwear offerings deliver the choices of velvet, suede, or patent leather materials.
The Disney footwear pieces are adorned with Minnie Mouse motifs, from the delicate color palette of pink, silver, and red, to the character's gloved hands, and exaggerated bows. The details are also finished with crystal embellishing accents, and will be priced between $300 USD to $470 USD. The Chiara Ferragni x Disney collection will be available online exclusively at Shop Disney.
