Exploring the Complete Range of Products in Gucci’s ‘Relics’ Collection
Gucci, the renowned luxury fashion brand, has recently collaborated with the NFT game, the Otherside, which is based on a fascinating world of enigmatic aliens known as “Kodas”. This partnership marks an exciting milestone for both the fashion and gaming industries.
As a part of this collaboration, Yuga, an artist, and creator associated with Otherside, will be designing the first “Relic” for Gucci, which will include a KodaPendant. The KodaPendant is a physical jewelry item that will be accompanied by a corresponding NFT.
The NFT will offer several benefits to the Otherside metaverse, providing players with an unparalleled gaming experience. The announcement of this partnership by Gucci was met with great enthusiasm and appreciation on social media, with the Otherside retweeting the news on their Twitter handle.
A KodaPendant NFT comes with a physical KodaPendant, which features a silver chain and an alien-shaped silver pendant with “GG” engraved on it (a popular gamer slang for “good game”). Additionally, each physical item bears a unique edition number on the back.
The limited edition pendants are exclusively accessible to individuals residing in the United States, Canada, several European nations, and a handful of Gulf states such as Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, while individuals residing in African, Central American, and South American countries are not eligible to acquire them. Asian countries, except for Japan, are also not eligible. As summer arrives, KodaPendants will allow for exclusive cosmetic customization options for Otherside avatars.
Blending the boundaries of the Digital and Physical worlds
Yuga Labs made an announcement on April 3rd, stating their plans to introduce a unique and limited edition series of jewelry designed by Gucci. The collection, called “Otherside: Relics by Gucci,” will be available for a limited time only. The first in the series is named KodaPendent, and it showcases the enigmatic alien race, Koda.
Yuga Labs will release 3,333 unique KodaPendents for sale on Thursday, April 6th, and interested users must pay using Yuga Labs’ native token, ApeCoin. Each pendant will cost 450 APE, or almost $1900 at press time, and will include both a wearable piece of jewelry and an NFT that unlocks benefits within the Otherside metaverse.
Note that KodaPendent will only be available to holders of Otherdeed NFTs, such as Koda and Vessel NFTs. Every Otherdeed non-fungible token linked to the accessories will undergo a visual enhancement to present a virtual representation of the exquisite jewelry
