Consumers who liked the Gucci Princetown Fur Slippers but didn't have the funds to invest in a pair are sure to appreciate these furry Vans, called the Princetown Loafur, which are a more affordable take on the statement luxury model.
Using the Vans Era model, the brand adjusted the traditional look of the skate sneakers by adding bits of elaborate fur to the inside and the area that surrounds the laces on the uppers. Two versions of the furry Vans are available: one that is red and pink, and another that is black and beige. Although the latter is much less bright, both versions are guaranteed to attract the attention of passersby. As each pair of the furry Vans are made custom by artisans, the price is a bit higher than most of the brand's classic models.
