Lacework designers turn their talent to Totoro for adorably fashionable socks and clutch bag<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

As any Studio Ghibli<\/strong> fan can tell you, Totoro\u2019s<\/strong> natural habitat is a lush forest. That doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s confined to the woodlands, though. Between his flying top and apparent free pass to ride the Catbus, he\u2019s actually a pretty mobile guy, and now he\u2019s got a new way of getting around with these adorable Totoro socks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Newly added to the lineup at the Ghibli Museum<\/strong> store, these stylish socks are a collaboration with Mina Perhonen<\/strong>, a Japanese fashion brand from Kanagawa Prefecture with a love for lace. For this project, Mina Perhonen created a new pattern for its Forest Parade line, called Totoro Forest Parade<\/strong>, that combines the brand\u2019s customary nature and wildlife motifs with appearances by Totoro.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

An especially clever point is that the lacework isn\u2019t fixed in place<\/strong>. Instead, it attaches to the sock near the hem, but with enough slack that Totoro will playfully dance with every step or dangle as you stretch out your legs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The lace straps can also be removed, in case you want to sport the accouterment on just one foot for a more asymmetrical look. You could even mix and match colors if you pick up more than one pair.<\/p>\n

\u25bc The socks come in gray, blue, and white, a nod to the colors of the big, medium, and small Totoros.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mina Perhonen\u2019s Ghibli-inspired lacework is also part of the Totoro Forest Parade Cuddle Purse<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The lacework here even features a second subtle Totoro, holding a lotus leaf<\/strong>\u2026<\/p>\n

The Totoro Forest Parade Socks are priced at 4,400 yen (US$27.50) per pair, while the bag is 48,400 yen. You don\u2019t necessarily have to go all the way to the Ghibli Museum in Tokyo\u2019s Mitaka district to get your hands on them, as they\u2019re also being offered through the Ghibli Museum Online Shop here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
