BE@RBRICK, a designer toy brand owned by Medicom Toy's, has teamed up with Japanese loungewear label Gelato Pique to launch the BE@RBRICK x Gelato Pique clothing collection.
The new capsule applies Gelato Pique's signature "Gelato" material -- an extra-soft sponge cake-like material -- to a range of silhouettes inspired by the classic BE@RBRICK figurine. As a result, the capsule consists of a variety of extra-comfy unisex pieces including fluffy hoodies with bear ears, matching pants, pullover crewnecks, t-shirts, and full-body onesies. All of the new pieces are being offered into colorways, pastel pink and pastel blue, both of which are lifted directly from previous BE@RBRICK designs.
For those interested, the BE@RBRICK x Gelato Pique collection is available to purchase now Gelato Pique's website.
