Among the offerings are signed Polaroids priced at £100, a guitar pick, a tote bag for £20, a £35 bunny bowl, a T-shirt with a quote from his late mother, a rejected single cover print from Bad Seeds, and a £200 wallpaper. The highlight of the collection is a red enamel pendant inspired by “Red Right Hand” and The Red Hand Files, where Cave engages with his fans.
