Japanese toy company Medicom Toy and fashion brand Ralph Lauren have revealed a new blazer-adorned bear figure Ralph Lauren's Polo Bear BE@RBRICK. The BE@RBRICK collection has featured several collaborations for over two decades. Several collaborations include famous brands and companies such as Disney, Sesame Street, Nike, Casio, and more.
The bear figure appears in a classic-style outfit that follows Ralph Lauren's fashion touch. In BE@RBRICK form, the bear figure in brown color is wearing a signature Polo plaid blazer that comes with brass buttons with green and blue checkered patterns as well as red and gold linework. With a black tie over a white button shirt and a yellow cardigan underneath the blazer, a standout feature is the golden Polo badge on the bear figure's chest. Additionally, the bear figure has blue jeans with a belt on. The bear figure will be displayed at Artellia in Hong Kong until May 10.
