The pieces are meant to not appear like foods from afar, but when taking a closer look at the pieces you can determine the food inspiration. All of the lively accessories are colorful and a representation of Folk and Yukimi’s personal style. The Lucy Folk x Yukimi ‘Bento’ collection is a fun play at merging food and fashion together.
