Studio Ghibli is no stranger to collaborative projects, having worked alongside large names such as Loewe; its latest capsule is made with Ensky, a Japanese pop-culture collectible imprint. Together, the two highlight beloved characters from the familiar Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, and Howl's Moving Castle.
The series is made up of five bags with an adorable look. These are shaped like the characters No Face, Calicifer, and Totoro. At the front is a clear section that unveils what is within the bag. These windows are meant to be the belly of Totoro, but the mouths of the other characters. The straps of the bags can be detached and they can become a hand pouch alternative. These are set to launch in July online at Ensky.
