Bag Your Own ‘My Neighbour Totoro’ Tote With Three-Piece Studio Ghibli Collection

Just in time for the winter season, Studio Ghibli is delivering a touch of warmth and cuteness to our wardrobe. They’ve unveiled a delightful bag and pouch collection that pays tribute to the iconic Ghibli film My Neighbor Totoro.

The Large Totoro Fluffy Tote (3,850 yen / US$25.68) showcases Totoro’s endearing face and belly. However, his usual blue-grey fur has been swapped for a gentle brown. The plush material is incredibly soft to the touch, and the bag features a magnetic closure at its mouth, adding to its overall charm. Measuring 43 x 34 x 16.5 centimeters, it’s compact yet spacious, with an inner side pocket for keeping your items organised. The fluffy handles not only add to its snug appeal but are also perfect for attaching keychains or pouches.

The collection continues with the Totoro Stroll Pouch (1,540 yen / US$10.27), which embodies the leisurely spirit of the film. It is designed to hold small items like candy, lip gloss, or coins. It comes with a ball chain, making it easy to attach to your favourite bag (perhaps even the Fluffy Tote itself) and take on a stroll of your own.

Completing this three-piece range is the Small Totoro Otegami Pouch (2,200 yen / US$14.67). “Otegami” translates to “letter,” complementing the pouch’s likeness to an envelope. With its soft beige and tan colors, it pays tribute to the art of letter writing featured in the film. Not only can it hold letters, but it’s also perfect for makeup and stationery.

These enchanting items are produced by the popular e-commerce site Ensky, known for selling quality products not only online but also through over 1,000 post offices across Japan and the Japan Post online store.

Fans of Studio Ghibli can find these items at Ghibli’s merchandise stores, Donguri Kyowakoku, in-store and online starting from 20 October. Keep in mind that stocks are limited, so act fast to secure these cuddly and charming pieces. If the popularity of Ghibli’s previous releases is any indication, they may not stick around for long.
