“CIAO!” New Ear Headband in Italy Pavilion at EPCOT

The Italy pavilion in EPCOT has been releasing new merchandise since August, most recently a new ear headband and scrunchie set has joined the Topolino Collection.

Merchandise display with a shirt featuring colorful text and graphics, headbands on the left, and additional clothing items below on a shelf.

We spotted them for sale at La Gemma Elegante in the Italy Pavilion.

These items perfectly match the rest of the Topolino collection released this past August. In September Disney added a Loungefly mini backpack and purse to the Italy pavilion collection.

Recently many of the pavilions in EPCOT have been receiving new merchandise, like Mexico, Germany, and the United Kingdom. This refresh in merchandise has also come with the addition of pavilion-specific Lug purses as well. Italy received a Lug featuring Minnie Mouse, Germany received a Lug featuring Mickey Mouse, and Canada received a Lug featuring Chip.
