Cray Cray For Versachay

Just like everyone else Kokorokoko has temporarily gone cray cray for Versace as it has been chosen by Hennes and Mauritz as their newest 'designer colabo'....anyway here are some pieces we have right now that are are the first generation to be inspired by the great Gianni all the way from the 1980s!
This piece is just 2 die 4! Zip-up Versace-esque mens jacket in red and cream featuring flags and nautical details. Silky and smoove! 
 Awesome pony hair leopard print bucket bag with tassel zipper! Hotness!
 Wild print blouse featuring checkerboards and...jewels? Great for holiday parties!
Classic brown stamped leather shoulder bag with a golden lion and coin details. Super chic!

Trade Off

In addition to our already legendary collection of trading cards including ALF, Pee-Wee and Terminator 2 we have added the RAD DUDES collection! We also have some "TGIF" throwbacks with Full House/Perfect Strangers (!) and Family Matters trading cards (who, me?)...totally OOC!!
WE also acquired some completely necessary Simpson trading cards from 1990. These are the originals--like when Homers voice was different and Lisa's hair was floppy.
Um here are some real strange ones! Sex Maniac cards!! So many good ones in here and includes a statement from BILL CLINTON! hahaha!
