A truly unique collaboration has hit the scene, and this is one that many people might not have seen coming. Are you ready for this?
Peach John, a Japanese clothing, fashion and lingerie retailer, has teamed up with Pokémon to create a very interesting collection to celebrate Pokémon’s 20th anniversary. The most notable and eye-catching piece in the group is undoubtedly the bikini composed of various smiling Pikachu plush toys. While the concept might seem peculiar at first, we’ve got to admit that the execution ended up creating a one-of-a-kind Pokémon art piece that no other product can compete with– to say the least!
The bikini was created for display purposes only and is not for sale. And while no other production of the piece has been mentioned at this point, the end product of this plush venture has definitely peaked the interest of many. This leads us to wonder whether we’ll be seeing items from Peach John or another retailer similar to this one hit store shelves in the future.
Several other products from the same collaboration are also on exhibition with the bikini at the moment, as featured in this next photo.
A sleep mask, several pairs of lacy undergarments, what appears to be a bathrobe (with the appropriate Pikachu-faced hood, of course), and a Poké Ball beauty case are all displayed with the Pikachu-donned mannequin. Even if the bikini doesn’t go into mass production, it seems possible that we could see these other sleepwear and beauty products in retailers someday– maybe even outside of Japan!
