La, laa, la, ra, la, laaa…
There's no way to start a post about a Melissa + Smurfs collaboration without humming the little song that is part of man Melissa fans' childhoods especially now that they've returned with force, with the release of The Smurfs film and the boom of Smurf merchandise.
The line Melissa Wanting + Smurfs is integrating the tribute that Colette created for the group of Smurfs. The store was invaded by Papa Smurf, Smurfette, the Smurfs Clumsy, Grouchy, brave. Brainy and the rest of the colony of blue creatures as a marketing stunt for the film's release. Besides an incredible window display dedicated to the small characters, Colette selected products that pay homage to the Smurfs, and the Melissa + Smurfs was there, available exclusively!
In the Power of Love collection, the Melissa Wanting model got traces of characters created by the Belgian illustrator Peyo (Pierre Culliford) in two versions: one with Clumsy Smurf and the other with Smurfette and Clumsy Smurf. Four color options are available: navy blue, red, white and black. To finish things off, the shoes come with a delicate metal pin of a little Smurf head.
It's impossible to not be excited about the return of these blue gnomes! And no need to search for conspiracy theories behind the design. ;)
To see the Melissa Wanting + Smurf flats up close, just visit the sassy Colette at 213 rue Saint-Honoré 75001 in Paris.
