These iron-on patches are available from underwear shop 'une nana cool', which is operated by lingerie maker Wacoal. They are known for developing women's underwear that is both simple and focused on design and fabric elements. Recently, 'une nana cool' has been getting a lot of attention for their iron-on patches featuring things such as animals and flowers. Among these are the 'Nyanpurike' collection of patches for cat lovers. After selecting your patch, the shop will use their press to help you customize your favorite underwear or handkerchief. You can also take the patches home and do it yourself. Each season this year, four new cat patches will go on sale. As opposed to buying just one, we recommend you get several so that you can enjoy arranging them on your clothing!
Necono Camera ¥15,750 NECONO DIGITALCAMERA
Designed by Sweden's representative international ceramic artist, Lisa Larson. As a leading Scandinavian design pioneer, Larson has continued to create new works into her 70s. Alongside her artist husband, she lives in the Swedish wilderness. Lisa Larson's cute cat design has now been turned into a digital camera. With the right eye as a lens and the left eye as a sensor, it's as if a cat is actually taking the pictures (the cat can even take video). Moreover, by using the separately sold 'Monitor Ground' (hitting the market around May/June), photographers will be able to view a video screen as they take pictures, like on typical digital cameras. The picture-book like package, which was designed by Mika Sasaki of Super Headz Tokyo, features Lisa's illustrations and is based on 'Baby Number Book' by her daughter Johanna Larson. With your adorable cat digital camera in hand, you'll be excited to head into town.
