Studio Ghibli Unveils New Fall Merchandise Featuring Totoro and Kiki's Jiji

With the arrival of fall, Studio Ghibli has delighted fans by unveiling a fresh line of cozy merchandise from its official online store, Donguri Sora. This new collection prominently features designs from two of its beloved films: My Neighbor Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service. The apparel is meticulously crafted to offer warmth and comfort, perfect for the chilly seasons ahead.

Fresh Cardigan Designs for Ghibli Enthusiasts

Among the standout items in this collection are two limited-edition cardigans. These cardigans are crafted from a cozy rayon/cotton blend, balancing style and practicality. They are perfect for both casual outings and an evening spent re-watching Studio Ghibli classics.

My Neighbor Totoro Cardigan Design

The gray cardigan inspired by My Neighbor Totoro is a visual treat for fans. Featuring a brown Totoro embroidered on the left chest and a large, iconic Totoro logo in white text on the back, the cardigan is both chic and functional. It includes two front pockets and a design long enough to drape over the hips, making it an ideal companion for cooler days. According to the official store description, the cardigan has "a smooth and soft fabric that is comfortable and stress-free to wear," combining relaxed style with comfort.

Kiki's Delivery Service Cardigan Design

In parallel, the black cardigan themed around Kiki's Delivery Service presents a similar design structure but incorporates the charm of Kiki's feline companion, Jiji. On the left chest, you'll find an embroidered depiction of Jiji, while the back showcases the playful text "Black Cat Jiji" in purple, artfully accompanied by Jiji's silhouette. It offers the same cozy features, making it a delightful choice for any Ghibli fan.

These cardigans are available at 7,084 yen, roughly translating to about $46 USD, tax included. Currently, they can be purchased online at the Donguri Sora online store for members.
