The perfect partners for a cosy night in watching Ghibli movies.
Studio Ghibli movies have a cosy, handmade feel to them, and that feeling extends to its merchandise collections, sold through the affiliatedDonguri Kyowakoku retail chain.
▼ Now, the cosiness levels are being dialled up a notch for autumn, with the brand new release of two fleece-lined socks in honour of two Ghibli Movies.
Made with a fluffy, velour-like chenille yarn, the socks are soft, with excellent heat retention to warm your feet from the moment you slip into them. They also look like the perfect partners for a night in watching the movies they represent.
▼ Kiki’s Delivery Service Fleece-Lined Crew Socks, 23–25 centimetres (9.1-9.8 inches)
Beloved cat Jiji peers out from this warm pair, with its embroidered body contrasting against the pink background, and the purple in its ears pairing well with the hues.
▼ Inside is an interior so warm and fluffy that your toes will never want to leave.
▼ Whisper of the Heart Fleece-Lined Crew Socks, 23–25 centimetres (9.1-9.8 inches)
Whisper of the Heart tends to sit in the shadow of Ghibli’s more famous films, but here it takes centre stage, with feline Moon representing.
▼ Moon meets its match in terms of fluffiness with this pair.
It’s nice to see two of the studio’s famous felines bringing their charm to these anime socks, which make a nice addition to the range released last month. Both socks are priced at 1,540 yen (US$9.75) per pair and can be purchased now at Donguri Kyowakoku stores and online (links below) while stocks last.
