Some of the standout pieces include the designer's iconic Kitty flats, Leaf sandals and Eve platform pumps. The doll also comes with other chic accessories such as the classic Perspex clutch and an adorable banana-shaped bag. There is even a miniature version of the brand's famous leopard mascot Bruce.
