Gucci's $995 kangaroo fur-lined loafers caused quite a stir earlier this season as they sold like hotcakes. Those were some garden variety high-fashion nonsense, though probably exceedingly comfortable. But the brand's even more avant-garde (re: just plain fucking ridiculous) effort, a full-on $1,800 fur extravaganza, is also attracting scores of customers.
LA Mag reports that even in the land of Hollywood, where it never gets below, like, 60 degrees, Gucci is completely selling out of its Chinchilla looking ass slippers. Now, let's think here. They're definitely too warm to be worn while walking down Rodeo Drive, but considering that it never rains and that these require some regular maintenance (i.e. combing) to make sure there aren't any knots or tangles, you can see why L.A. residents, especially the bougiest among them, would actually want these things: possibly for some next level house slippers to casually flex when they host book club and most definitely to keep the help busy because idle hands are the devil's workshop. However, even if you are a terrible rich person with absolutely no taste whatsoever, you can't get them anyway as Gucci Beverly Hills is plum out with no word of a restock on the horizon either. I guess they killed all the Ewoks. Bummer.
