Emojis just got classy as hell thanks to a collaboration between designers Edie Parker and Del Toro.
The designers released a special collection of loafers and clutch bags emblazoned with some of our favorite emojis. We have the heart-eyed-cat; the salsa dancer; the purple devil. There’s no eggplant or dark moon, but hey, beggars can’t be choosers.
The only issue: the shoes are $340 and the bags will run you a whopping $1,495. Insert shocked-scream-face emoji here.
The accessories are proof that the recent trend of putting excessively mainstream symbols on super expensive clothing and accessories isn’t going anywhere. The out-there emoji pieces are being sold on Moda’Operandi, a runway pre-order site that also recently released an addictive, Tinder-like fashion app.
We’ll be opening an Indiegogo account to solicit donations for several pairs for the Betabeat staff momentarily. The only question left is: does this count as wearable tech?
