COMME des GARÇONS SHIRT updated its range of plastic tote bags to include a fresh variation that pays homage to '[Minecraft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-squatch-x-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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canvas-tote-bag) 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.
