Vandy the Pink works in collaboration with online retailer HBX on the new playful Ice Cream collection for the season. It features a selection of lifestyle items that are marked with the label's signature branding details and exclusively available to shop at HBX.
There are only three items that make up the collection, including a pair of sneakers, a rug, and a plush ice cream toy. It boasts a whimsical theme that is true to the design language of Vandy the Pink and nods to the dynamics of 2000s streetwear culture. The shoes boast a tonal palette inspired by Neapolitan ice cream with tones of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. The rug and plush toy are made in the cartoon ice cream logo character.
