Rilakkuma Always Together Dress-Up Plush

We’re back from our super cute trip to Japan and will share more about that over the next few months. But first, I wanted to show you something we spent far too much money on in Japan – Rilakkuma Always Together plush.

You choose a keyring-sized plush of Rilakkuma, Korilakkuma or Kogumachan (there’s also separate plush sets with Kiiroitori) and then there are loads of adorable little outfits you can buy to dress them up in. We very quickly got obsessed as they look so cute and you can mix and match the pieces to make new outfits.

Look at their cosy Autumn outfits! The hats are designed with a hole for the keyring part so you can hang them on your bag without worrying about losing anything.

We were initially sucked in by the Halloween outfits – a box of four spooky cute costumes that we could kind-of justify by splitting the cost between us and sharing them. Rilakkuma Ghost and Kogumachan Pumpkin were the cutest companions for a Halloween celebration at Universal Studios Japan. Of course, there was also a Christmas set that was impossible to resist so look out for some festive dress up photos on our Instagram next month!

If you’d like to join in, you can order everything online from the San-X shop (using a forwarding service like Tenso). You may also be able to find them at San-X stockists – check our guide to The Best Kawaii Shops Worldwide.
