The new Shiboshis X BugattiGRP handbag collection will take inspiration from the Shiboshis NFT collection, which consists of 10,000 pixelated cartoon dogs. Previously, Bugatti worked with the Rolling Stones and the K-Pop stars Blackpink, and paid homage to Swiss heritage with their Swiss Mobility Collection.

Shiba Army Sends More SHIB Up In Flames

The big news sparked enthusiasm from the SHIB Army to burn more of their beloved canine tokens to sustain Shiba Inu’s market price. Besides wanting to see their favorite Shiboshis NFT engraved on the luxury bags, the SHIB Army is also looking forward to a major event “in the next few days,” according to the official tweet.

Thus, the extra motivation to send SHIB tokens to dead wallets is evident in the increased SHIB burning stats. According to Shibburn, the past 24 hours had seen a colossal 37,400,646 SHIB tokens set ablaze, marking a 1395% daily increase.
