# Kangaroo Fur Slip-Ons Gucci's New Princetown Slippers Come in Two Luxurious Colorways By Riley von Niessen | Published 2017-08-21 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/princetown-slippers References: [hypebae](https://hypebae.com/2017/8/gucci-princetown-slipper-velvet-fur-raspberry-cobalt) & [ssense](https://www.ssense.com/en-us/women/product/gucci/pink-velvet-and-fur-princetown-slippers/2132107) After [Gucci](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-slipon-sneaker) launched its floral-patterned slip-on shoes just a short while ago, it decided to expand on its selection with the Princetown Slippers, which make use of a similar silhouette. Although the [soft velvet material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crocs-classic-clog-velvet-pack) that makes up the uppers of the slip-ons gives them a luxurious aesthetic on its own, the [fur lining](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doodle-fur) contributes to the high-end look even more while bringing some added comfort to the wearer. On the uppers of the Princetown Slippers, Gucci includes a few accents of muted gold, which helps to add some variance to the slip-ons. The shoes can either be purchased in a deep hue of blue, or a light raspberry pink, with each finished off with kangaroo fur, an addition that's sparked controversy for the brand in the past. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Luxurious Slip-on Shoes:** Opportunity for brands to create slip-on shoes with a luxurious aesthetic and fur lining for added comfort and high-end appeal. - **Muted Gold Accents:** Opportunity for incorporating muted gold accents in footwear designs to add variance and sophistication to the overall look. - **Controversial Fur Materials:** Opportunity to explore the use of alternative fur materials that are both cruelty-free and sustainable in luxury fashion. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Footwear:** The footwear industry can tap into the trend of luxurious slip-on shoes and experiment with different materials and designs. - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore the incorporation of muted gold accents in various apparel and accessory designs to enhance their visual appeal. - **Fur Alternatives:** The fur industry can investigate and develop alternative materials that provide the same luxurious feel as real fur, but are ethically and sustainably sourced. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pink Fuzzy Slip-On Loafers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calm-mule-1.md) - [Minimalist Sock-Like Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-slipon-sneaker.md) - [Fashion-Centric Quilted Slippers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quilted-slipper.md) - [Shearling-Lined Suede Slippers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amour-suede-shearling-bridges.md) - [Premium Slip-On Loafers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slide-loafer.md) - [Ballet-Inspired Luxury Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shift-sneaker.md) - [Ribbed Padded Sporty Slip-Ons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiff-padded-slipper.md) - [Fuzzy Mule Slip-Ons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harbor-mule-slipon.md) - [Fully Faux Fur-Lined Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doodle-fur.md)
