As part of Balenciaga‘s take over at Colette, the label has mixed in some special items with its fall 2017 offerings, which includes a collection of plush toys.
Members of the menagerie include Koko the chimpanzee, there’s also Bendy the giraffe, Goran the Gorilla, and a sloth who shall remain nameless, plus from the North, Arka the polar bear and Charly the penguin (both of whom were forced to migrate to Paris because their igloos melted from global warming–sad!)
The adoption fee to take home each plush is $145-$190 with each animal clothed in a mini-Balenciaga t-shirt. All but Koko is now sold out on colette.fr, though the store might still be housing additional plushies.
If they are indeed all gone, we can take solace in knowing they all found homes!
The Balenciaga and Colette pop-up shop in Paris opened on June 19, 2017 and will run through August 5th.
