Consisting of 32 items, the clothing will be available in a variety of sizes – men’s, women’s, junior’s, kid’s, and baby’s.

Then, starting on September 17h, the line will be available at Gelato Pique stores and Nintendo Tokyo.
Given the brand and that it’s a collaboration, the collection will be a bit pricey. Items range in price from ¥1,760 (Yoshi pattern eco-friendly bag) to ¥14,960 (loungewear top and bottom set). That’s roughly $16 to $136.04.
The entire collection can be previewed on Gelato Pique’s Japanese site. Plans for a US release have yet to be announced, but it seems likely since Nintendo and Gelato Pique’s previous collection based on Animal Crossing: New Horizons was released outside of Japan in early 2021.
