UNIQLO Kaws x Sesame Street and Doraemon

Today was the launching of Uniqlo's Kaws x Sesame Street apparel (limited edition). Last year, I splurge in buying Kaws x Peanuts stuffs. When I saw UNIQLO's ad in their fb page, I was really excited. If Filipinos have Batibot tv show, kids all over the world are familiar with Sesame Street. Who does not know Ernie and Bert, The Count, Oscar the grouch, Elmo, and Cookie Monster. I have not seen Big Bird in the designs. I only saw Kaws original character design. They also have the pocket shirt designs. Wherein the characters are printed in each pocket shirt. Another reason why I'm buying this limited ed. t-shirts is that my Chinese idol, Prince of Pop, Singaporean native, JJ Lin, has Kaws x toys, and I came to the conclusion he likes Kaws. So I guess, we are now the same.

I also saw other t-shirt designs. Like the popular Japanese cartoons for kids, entitled Doraemon. JJ Lin has a Doraemon plush. I did not see any Doraemon plush at the store so I just bought a t-shirt. I find Doraemon cute. I suddenly remember another Japanese cartoon character named Mojacko which I like.  They are both cute and adorable.

UNIQLO t-shirt designs are really nice. That is why their store is a huge success here in the Philippines. I love how updated the  designs in every shirt was. So if you are a fan of those things that I have mentioned above, better head on to your nearest UNIQLO store.

UNIQLO Everyday Peanuts T-Shirt Series 2018

     This week I bought a few of the 'Everyday Peanuts' t-shirts series at UNIQLO. I'm just glad that they released this in the opening of the year. Aside from the Peanuts t-shirt series, they also have the Mickey mouse, and Sanrio shirt series. The price per shirt is P590. The women's UNIQLO  graphic shirt collection has a small embroidered week on the side (back), expressing daily feelings from Monday to Sunday. I've got Schroeder (Tuesday-gray shirt), Snoopy (Monday-pink shirt), Linus (Thursday-white shirt),  and the Peanuts gang (green shirt-Sunday) character shirt. Aside from these designs, they also have the Peanuts shirt with embroidered Peanuts character on the left breast pocket. It is the same retail price with the full-graphic t-shirt.

I really like the feel of UNIQLO shirts. This one feels like cottony, and light. After washing you don't need to iron it because the material is wrinkle-free. I suggest that you hoard these kind of shirts at UNIQLO, because its really comfortable to wear. This shirt is also perfect during summer. Compared to the Kaws Peanuts t-shirt sold last year, the material used in these shirts is lighter. If you're a Peanuts fan like me better head to your nearest UNIQLO shirt, and wear Peanuts everyday! Everyday happy with the Peanuts gang!

Peanuts Apparel Series (Vans and UNIQLO)

        This year I've been going 'gaga' over Peanuts. I really splurged a lot before and after Christmas season. Bought a lot of Peanuts related items, from books (which costs a lot because they are hard-bound). I also ordered Peanuts toy figures, and Snoopy watch online.

This year Vans and UNIQLO, both well known clothing line internationally has released their Peanuts series. I'm not really that fond of buying clothes and shoes much. It just so happened that its the Peanuts characters that they have released in their clothing line that's why I became interested.

Vans recently released, this year (internationally, I think it was the middle of this year), and November of this year, they released it in my country. It is called the Vans X Peanuts series. I love it! From shirts, to pullovers, socks, backpacks, and sneakers they all got it Peanutized! I was really fortunate because I was able to buy foot socks, two Vans sneakers, the Peanuts Dance Party Calico design (this is the one in color pink), with matching backpack. I also got the Vans comics design sneakers, which I really like. Most of those who saw these sneakers all commented positively, saying its really nice. I also got the pullover (Charlie Brown, 'Good Grief' design for my birthday), and a Vans Snoopy shirt colored black. Vans used the original Charles Schulz Peanuts cartoons in all of their apparel.

Our pastor's wife, recently gave me for my birthday, a nice Snoopy shirt from UNIQLO. The series is called Kaws X Peanuts collection. It is in collaboration with American pop art artist, and designer, Brian Donnelly, more popularly known as KAWS. While Vans remains true to the Peanuts character design in their apparel. The Kaws Peanuts series in UNIQLO, altered the design a bit. I think this is the signature style of Donnelly (incorporating his design in a cartoon work, correct me if I'm wrong). Snoopy's eyes were drawn in x shaped (looks like Snoopy is dead, sorry! that's just what the design looks to me.). Plus, instead of Snoopy being known as Joe Cool, he has become Joe Kaws. Now, I get it its Kaws design of course! he!he!he! Anyway, they also have released Snoopy stuffed-toys, in black and white. I got one! The medium size costs around 1,990 Philippine Pesos. The toys of Brian, or KAWS, is really expensive. Fans of his, and collector of vinyl toys are familiar with his works. He's a popular pop-artist and designer. So getting a Kaws Snoopy is an alternative to owning a cheaper designed toy of KAWS.

If you're a Peanuts fanatic like me. You better check out the stores that I mentioned. Hurry, because these are just limited editions. If you wanna travel with the Peanuts gang wherever you go, better wear one of these. he!he!he! You can take the Peanuts gang wherever you go!
