You can now buy a pair of slippers in the shape of the iconic Australian bin chicken
The ibis slippers have been launched by gifting company Grey Lines as part of their re-launch last week – television personality Abbie Chatfield posted about them on her Instagram
‘We design chaotic gifts you truly can’t find anywhere else.. and probably for good reason,’ the company claims in their Instagram bio.
Despite no-one asking for slippers in the shape of an ibis they appear to be very popular, with stock selling quickly.
The company claims the slippers are ‘the best thing since sliced garlic bread’ in their very quirky product write-up.
‘Finally, you can strut around parks and ruin picnics in true bin chicken style with these cuddly yet terrifying slippers,’ the Grey Lines team wrote.
The slippers are ‘one size fits most’ and suit people with size six to nine feet.
Former The Bachelor star, Abbie Chatfield, shared a video of herself doing yoga in the slippers before the company’s official relaunch.
‘Gifted I guess, if you count stealing from your friend’s office gifted?’ she wrote.
The post was inundated with comments from people who decided they also needed a pair of the quirky kicks.
‘I need these right now,’ one woman wrote, tagging her friend.
‘Surely these are our new apartment slippers,’ said another.
The slippers were launched alongside a pair of ibis socks which sold out in a matter of hours

The post was liked over 9,000 times.
Grey Lines currently have 22 gift items available on their website.
Their bin chicken socks sold out just hours after their re-launch, as did their cob loaf printed socks and quirky beach towels.
