Meal-Inspired Keychains

INU INU's Udon Keychain Celebrates Society's Raman Obsession

Like clothes and jewelry pieces, keychains are a great way to express one's signature sense of style. INU INU's Udon keychain is an homage to ramen noodles and society's obsession with the convenient Asian dish. In addition to adding a fun element to any set of keys, this accessory is also an homage to a popular food item.

While most novelty keychains come in smaller sizes, this ramen-themed accessory is oversized, ensuring your house keys won't get lost. The distinct key accessory is a fun and affordable novelty gift and will appeal to INU INU's millennial audience.

In addition to offering fun accessories like this one, the retailer appeals to niche youth cultures and carries clothing that is both quirky and genderless -- a popular theme that's being embraced by both established and independent fashion labels.
