Fancy’s Bandito House Keys come in a blank metal key set of three. The gold, silver and black designs are designed by streetwear brand Crooks & Castles and are adorned with the company’s bandana-clad branding.

Inspired by [Versace’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bright-crystal) Medusa graphic, Crooks & Castles’ branding features a bandana-wearing goddess and blends together opulence with gritty street culture.

This set of [blank metal keys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/belt-handle) is priced at a $30 rate and will appeal to fans of the Crooks & Castles brand. These keys are sold in a blank set that can be custom-carved. Once done, your keys will feature different colors, making them easy to tell apart. If you don’t want to use the keys to open a door, pair them with a metal chain to create an instant necklace accessory.
