'The Pokémon Company & Original Stitch Unbox Holiday Surprise: Limited-Edition Pokémon Shirts Mini-Pouches featuring 251 Pokémon fabrics

SAN FRANCISCO & TOKYO, December 23, 2020—Original Stitch and The Pokémon Company today announced Pokémon Shirts Mini-Pouches, featuring designs from all 251 types of Pokémon print fabrics, showcasing Pokémon that appeared in the Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue video games, as well as Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver.

Pokémon Shirts Mini-Pouches arrive on the heels of Pokémon Bandanas and Pokémon Masks, announced at the start of the holiday shopping season. The masks, bandanas and pouches come from the makers of Pokémon Shirts, a customized shirt service from Original Stitch in collaboration with The Pokémon Company, which has been available since February 2019.

“This is our holiday gift to fans,” said Marina Carroll, Marketing Manager at Original Stitch. “Giving back to the community that supported us with fun gifts is something we love to do. In addition, Pokémon Mini-Pouches support our passion for sustainability. They are made from fabric remnants left over from the tailoring of our shirts to reduce waste!”

Where to Purchase

Pokémon Shirts are available in the Pokémon shop at Original Stitch. Fans can get theirs today and choose from 251 fabrics or a plain base fabric to subtly customize the collar or cuff. Starting today, eligible purchases will include a Mini-Pouch while supplies last. In addition, the newly launched line of Pokémon Bandanas and Pokémon Masks make great stocking stuffers:

Just how awesome are those prints?! Big fan of the Lickitung print, and I love that the Vileplume is a more subtle look, almost floral, so people might not even realise you are wearing something with Pokémon on.

That these are made of fabric leftover from their cutting process really appeals to me, anything that creates less waste in fashion is a great idea!

Much love,

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

Original Stitch x Pokémon Co Ltd Bandana Release

 As a rule, I usually see a press release in my inbox, have a quick read, discover it is in no way relevant to me, and bin it. But not today! You know I absolutely adore Pokémon, and a plus size gal, I find myself left out of the cool Pokémon far too often, but bandanas?! Anyone and everyone can enjoy bandanas! I love wearing bandanas in my hair, and when our sweet doggo Ashen was still with us he had a bandana for every occasion!
