Special Project Consulting from Japan is coming out with a set of Peanuts-themed products. Snoopy is such an iconic character. Bringing him to a variety of products, in a subtle way, is a sure way to attract consumers who are in love with the classic comic and who love great design as well.
The Peanuts-themed products include collaborations with toy company Medicom, Mackintosh coats, Globe-Trotter luggage and New Era caps. The results of these collaborations are a great mix of toys, clothing and luggage that retain the high quality of the brands while incorporating Peanuts into them as an accent.
All of the products from the collaborations can be found at colette in Paris and other select retailers. Whether you are an old fan who loves the comics and television show, or a new fan just discovering Snoopy and his friends, these products are bound to be a hit.
