We’ve already been seeing a lot of fun collections drop ahead of May the Fourth and as a huge Star Wars fan I’m always here for that! If you’re looking for something a little extra this year (and have $5,500 to spend) you’re going to want to check out these new designer bags celebrating everyone’s astromech droid, R2-D2.

Judith Leiber Couture has partnered with Lucasfilm to create two limited-edition R2-D2 clutches featuring more than 9,000 handset crystals: one with crystals in white, cobalt blue, sapphire, and black; and another with 24-karat gold-plated crystals. How gorgeous are these?!!!

The companies worked on the collaboration for a year and each bag took more than 150 hours to create and will retail for $5,495 each. “I have always loved R2-D2’s endearing personality. There is so much joy and nostalgia attached to the character,” says Jana Matheson, chief creative officer of Judith Leiber Couture. “Judith Leiber Couture and Star Wars are a perfect match; R2-D2 is timeless, whimsical and charming, similar attributes to that of our minaudieres.”

The Star Wars x Judith Leiber Couture R2-D2 bags will be available to shop online starting May the 4th.
