Australian handmade bag brand STATE OF ESCAPE launches its sixth artist collaboration with Fukuoka-based artist AOISIMON. The lineup centers on the Alien-chan character and includes the Petite escape bag and Small charm pouch, priced at ¥75,900 and ¥29,700. A pop-up at Isetan Shinjuku runs September 30 to October 6, while the Tokyo Midtown Hibiya store and official online store carry a different advance color.
STATE OF ESCAPE was founded in Sydney by Brigitte MacGowan and Desley Maidment, who built the label around neoprene bags structured with sailing rope. The brand earned B Corp certification in 2024 and has introduced collections using recycled polyester.
AOISIMON's Alien-chan, a character with no race, nationality, or gender, is the centerpiece of the collaboration. The artist treats difference as personality and appeal, an outlook the brand says matches its own push for individual style.
Before the Isetan Shinjuku pop-up, a separate event at Takashimaya Osaka runs September 16 to 29, featuring a denim-print version of the Prequel model and an embroidery customization service for bag purchases.
- Petite escape: signature model, ¥75,900; colors Midnight with blue print, Cloud with white print, Stone with gray print
- Small charm pouch: ¥29,700; attaches to a bag or works alone
