The TV anime Natsume's Book of Friends and earth music&ecology Japan Label launch a collaboration line of eight items, from apparel to accessories. Pre-orders open August 7 at 18:00 on STRIPE CLUB and other outlets, running through August 17 at 23:59. Designs center on Nyanco-sensei and motifs like sake bottles, grilled squid, and footprints.
The knit cardigan and stole use a jacquard weave to embed sake bottles, grilled squid, and footprints, with original Nyanco-sensei buttons on the cardigan and a peek-a-boo Nyanco-sensei in the stole's pocket. The hoodie carries an original illustration printed in a tone matching the fabric, so the character reads only up close. The one-piece dress hides Nyanco-sensei within a botanical print.
Prices run from 6,000 yen for the stole to 9,900 yen for the dress, with all pieces in size F and most in unisex sizing. The collection also includes a boa bag, pouch, and charm. Pre-orders close August 17 at 23:59.
