Gucci, one of the world's most renowned luxury fashion brands, has partnered with Yuga Labs to release the KodaPendant, a limited edition pendant available in both physical and non-fungible token (NFT) forms. The release is part of the Otherside Relics By Gucci collection, which sets out to break new ground at the intersection of fashion, entertainment, and gaming.
On April 6th, the KodaPendant will be available for purchase to holders of the Koda or Vessel NFTs, which serve as avatars in the Otherside metaverse. The pendant, made of silver, is shaped like a Koda, and engraved with "GG," with a chain that measures 50cm long.

This innovative approach adds a unique touch to digital assets, showing the potential for NFTs to bridge the gap between fashion and technology.
