'Mash' is the name of a two-year-old cat that charms hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram—this social media-famous pet is also the muse for Randa's newest collection of cat footwear.
The Mash x Randa collaboration includes a range of neutral-colored pumps that are adorned with furry details that remind of the cat's cream-colored coat. One of the most eye-catching pieces in the collection are a pair of Fur Pumps, which boast a plush head in Mash's likeness that's affixed to the back of the shoe. These limited-edition shoes are exclusively being sold through collaboration's official website and select Randa stores.
In the past, Randa also designed a charming cat-inspired collection of footwear with a focus on Hello Kitty, who is also an icon of pop culture.
