Introduction of New Designs

●Mikey x Fruits (Playful Adult Pop)

A design full of playfulness, with fruits like apples and pears scattered around Mikey as he walks along. If you look closely, you'll also find Mikey holding a clover.

While the motifs are pop, the soft texture of the gobelin weave adds a touch of elegance, making them easy for adults to carry without being too cute.

●Hedgehog x Strawberry (Classic with a Vintage Feel)

Three hedgehogs walk as if dancing. The strawberry motif and pattern are incorporated from Lisa Larson's "Pomona" series of ceramic plates created in 1971.

Not only the ripe red strawberries but also the small flowers and leaves are charmingly designed. The joyful expressions of the hedgehogs stand out within the classical atmosphere, creating a design that grows more endearing the more you look at it.
