Peace, Love and a Hippie Holiday - Designer beetle cufflinks

A new line of 160 styles of cute mini "beetle" cufflinks for men (or women) will be launched by Barneys New York and Volkswagen next month. With a price tag of $550 ( around £345) these sweet handcrafted silver and enamel cufflinks are made in the shape of the iconic 1974 VW Beetle.

As part of a counterculture moment at Barneys commemorating the 50th anniversary of the peace sign, Volkswagen has joined forces with Barneys in this campaign, the theme of which is "Peace & Love: Have a Hippie Holiday" in celebration of the New Beetle's 10th anniversary.

Laura Soave, Volkswagen's general manager of marketing, quoted: "We recognize with the current situation, this will not be for everyone. But these are specialized items. It's like a collector's item.

So girls if you'll be around New York in November snap a few for a special Christmas present or a treat for yourself!
