The New Kim Kardashian Merchandise Line Features a Scandalous Floatie
Riley von Niessen — April 6, 2017 — Pop Culture
In time for summer, new Kim Kardashian merchandise has been released, which includes everything from hats and phone cases, to Kimoji-branded lighters and pool floaties that emulate the appearance of the socialite's iconic backside.
In addition to this rather unconventional floatie that's likely to garner users a few looks, there's another that states "LIT" in a black text box. Other summer-ready items include hats with slogans like "I'M ON THE LIST," "WYA," and "STILL DRUNK FROM YESTERDAY." Bandannas, flasks, tees, and other products feature the same slogans, in addition to the socialite's Kimoji version of a hand flaunting the middle finger. Currently, the new Kim Kardashian merchandise can be purchased from the Kimoji store online.
