Enter Studio Ghibli’s Vibrant World With UNIQLO’s Collection

“Hey, let’s go!” UNIQLO invites you to discover a collection celebrating the fun and wonder of Studio Ghibli. It’ll be arriving in Singapore soon, so here’s everything you need to know.

Bring the magic along with you.

Aside from the nostalgia and comfort that the Japanese studio’s animated films bring, here’s another factor that might be fueling the rising hype around it. Hayao Miyazaki’s final film The Boy and the Heron was released without a trailer and without promotional marketing yet continues to break records in Japan (no international release dates have been announced yet).

While we wait for news about the film's release in Singapore, let’s walk down memory lane and check out the UNIQLO X Studio Ghibli Hey Let’s Go Collection.

UNIQLO X Studio Ghibli Hey Let’s Go Collection

A ‘My Neighbour Totoro’ sweatshirt and ‘Kiki’s Delivery Service’ shirt.

The collection brings to the spotlight art from films such as My Neighbour Totoro, Spirited Away, and Kiki’s Delivery Service. These are then incorporated with designs by Thai artist Kanyada and longtime Studio Ghibli Producer Toshio Suzuki.

Two designs of the collection’s Round Mini Shoulder Bag.

This is the second collaboration between the two, so here’s your chance to pick out a piece or two if you missed out on the first one which was released last year. One of the things that’s new in this second collection is that it features the TikTok-viral UNIQLO Round Mini Shoulder Bag (SGD19.90) adorned with characters from the studio’s animated films.

There will be 27 items in the collection comprising T-shirts in adult, kid, and baby sizes, sweatshirts, and socks. Prices range from SGD5.90 to SGD39.90.
