Designer Mouse Ears Debuting This Summer

You know all those times you’ve looked in your closet and thought, all my regular mouse ears are so humdrum? Well, Disney has just the thing to perk up your selection of mus musculus headgear – designer mouse ears.

Starting May 24, Disney will begin releasing limited-edition Mickey Mouse ear hats and Minnie Mouse ear headbands designed by celebrities and fashion designers. They will be available at Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and, for those of you not at the resorts, through the shopDisney app or online at shopDisney.com.

The collection will introduce signature elements of each collaborator to the iconic silhouettes of Mickey and Minnie for a never-before-seen look.

New designs will be released monthly, including a bridalwear-inspired crystal and pearl headband by Vera Wang, a crystal-encrusted ear hat from The Blonds, a pink-puffed ear headband by Betsey Johnson, a mommy-and-daughter set by Cupcakes and Cashmere, and a crafted leather, floral-inspired ear headband by COACH, seen below.

Many of the designs in the collection take inspiration from Disney characters and Disney Parks attractions, including an Enchanted Tiki Room-inspired design, as well as designs by Disney Imagineers such as Kim Irvine, Kevin Rafferty and Joe Rohde.
