With the PINK LEOPARD design, Kitty transforms into a gal with “ganguro” (tanned) skin, and this one is also irresistibly desirable~! Beyond the design pattern, the three-dimensional “puffy” texture feels like a real candy, making its presence even more striking!

The design condenses nostalgic motifs from that era like mirror collages and loose socks, and just looking at it might make you feel nostalgic! By using them to decorate smartphone cases, notebooks, mirrors, trading card cases, or hair clips, you can subtly incorporate the trending Heisei retro aesthetic.
