AD (Gifted) Original Stitch x Pokémon Company Masks* & Bandanas

 The lovely folks at Original Stitch have collaborated with the Pokémon Company to produce beautiful shirts, masks*, and bandanas, and they were recently kind enough to send me a few to try out!

I got my trust Snorlax teddy to help me model the masks, so you can really appreciate the adorable patterns. There are a huge amount of different prints available, all 151 Kanto Pokémon have their own print, and then you can choose what mesh to have your mask backed with.

This Slowbro print with a bonus appearance from Alolan Exeggutor, is lined with a pink mesh. It's such a fun tropical print and Slowbro looks like he is living his best life!

Bulbasaur is my favourite Kanto starter, and this print is just damn adorable!

And finally, you can never go wrong with a classic Pikachu print. This one is quite subtle, so if you want to show off your love of Pikachu in a less dramatic way, this could be perfect!

The banadanas also come in the same choice of prints, and are tagged with the Original Stitch logo. This is so soft and such good quality. I know I'll be wearing this in my hair, but there are so many other ways to wear a bandana too!

There are abstract patterns that feature Pokémon, black and white options, and really bright fun ones if that is more your thing too. I love the Lickitung, Vaporeon and Ditto prints in particular. With 151 to choose from, there is bound to be one you love.

Much love,

Kitty xxxx

Whether you've been trying to match your mask to your outfit, or wearing the most fun and outrageous you can, masks are going to be with us for a good while yet.

I was really excited to find out that Original Stitch had collaborated with Pokémon to make masks that feature all the OG Kanto region Pokémon! Because if you hadn't figured it out yet, I'm a huge Pokémon fan.

Pokémon and Original Stitch Go Big with Black Friday Exclusive:

Masks from all 151 Pokémon Patterns that appear in "Pokémon Red and Blue"

SAN FRANCISCO & TOKYO, November XX, 2020—Pokémon Co., Ltd. and Original Stitch today announced the launch of Pokémon Masks, which allows fashion-forward followers of Pikachu and company to choose a design from all 151 types of Pokémon patterns that appear in the classic 1996 videogame "Pokémon Red and Blue.”

Pokémon Masks arrive on the heels of Pokémon Bandana, announced last week. The masks and bandanas are both exclusives from "Pokémon Shirt," a customized shirt service from Pokémon Co., Ltd. and Original Stitch, which has been available since February 2019.

“In April 2020, we had a promotion to give customers who purchased shirts a mask as a way to thank them for their support,” said Marina Carroll, Marketing Manager at Original Stitch. “We had such positive feedback from the community, we decided to make masks an official product. To us, in light of world events, this is our most important—and timely—offering since launch, and one that will become a stylish essential for your 2021 wardrobe.” 

Choose 151 kinds of Pokémon fabrics!

Pokémon Masks blend creativity with sustainability. Made from the fabric left over from tailoring shirts in Japan, Pokémon Masks are available in all 151 types of Pokémon patterns that appear in "Pokémon Red and Blue." In addition, on the back side, fans can choose from all four colors of breathable mesh fabric.

“As with all our products, we are offering these masks to the Pokémon community as a way for fans to express themselves and spread a message of fun and safety,” added Carroll. :Whether you’re going to the grocery store or doing a socially distanced hang with friends, we know that Pokémon Masks will be a stylish must-have for fans of all ages. Personally, I can hardly wait to see where they will turn up and how our wonderfully stylish community will accessorize them.”
