COMME des GARÇONS SHIRT updated its range of plastic tote bags to include a fresh variation that pays homage to 'Minecraft,' a popular video game that requires players to strategically place blocks and go on adventures to explore a vast digital realm.
The plastic tote bag features COMME des GARÇONS SHIRT's branding in bold white lettering on the front of it, along with an array of colorful graphics that reference themes in the game. These graphics are included in a modern fashion, making the references to the game only obvious to its fans, while still maintaining a wearable design.
The plastic tote bags are available from retailers like Dover Street Market in London, however other retailers are sure to have them stocked soon.
