Singapore Pokémon fans would know the struggles of getting hold of limited edition merchandise since most of them are only available in Japan.
This time around, the tables have turned ‒ local designer brand Beyond The Vines is dropping an exclusive collection that features designs of all-time favourite Pokémon characters like Pikachu, Eevee, and Mew on 17 February 2023.
Beyond The Vines’ dumpling bag needs no introduction ‒ its simplicity and functionality have cemented its name as the it bag among many Singaporeans.
In this collection, the dumpling bags are inspired by the colours of Pikachu, Eevee, and Jigglypuff, and are available in Beyond The Vines’ distinctive colour-blocking styles.
For instance, the dumpling bag with Eevee comes in brown and cream. The one that features Jigglypuff has light pink and teal shades, and the Pikachu dumpling bag greets us in yellow and black.
Each dumpling bag also has a ruching detail on top that features a drawstring that closes with a pull. It reminds us of the folded skin of a dumpling, which is the origin behind its name. Plus, the nylon bag is completed with a product label that is woven with a motif of the respective Pokémon, its Pokédex number, height, and weight.
That’s not all ‒ it also comes with a front pocket and D-ring so you can easily store and hook essentials like a tissue packet and your keys respectively.
Each XS Pokémon Dumpling Bag retails at $89.
If the aforementioned dumpling bag is a lil’ too big for your liking, consider the Pikachu Micro Dumpling Bag instead.
Decked in black, the dumpling bag features a reflective Pikachu print on the front pocket alongside a Pokémon label in yellow on the side. Despite its smaller dimensions, it is capable of holding your valuables like a phone and wallet. Similarly, the bag is made from nylon, and comes with short handles and an adjustable strap.
The Pikachu Micro Dumpling Bag retails at $79.
Never worry about going out of style when you have the Pokémon Canvas Carryall. The canvas bag is available in yellow and blue, and comes with a kawaii Pokéball keyring that is detachable.
Designed for everyday use, the bag also features an inner pocket to store essentials, and also has a water bottle slot so you can hydrate yourself while you’re on the move.
You can also experiment with two different looks when you carry the bag with either the short handles or the adjustable long strap as a crossbody.
The Pokémon Canvas Carryall retails at $139.
For the unacquainted, Beyond The Vines also has lifestyle items like these Pokémon Glass Cups which are made from borosilicate glass. Each heat-resistant drinkware features a printed graphic of Charizard or Pikachu, and even comes with interesting stats like their height and weight.
Each Pokémon Glass Cup retails at $18.
Shy trainers can express their love for Pikachu subtly with the Pokémon Nylon Cap since the details of the Pokémon are only found on the side. The cap is available in orange and black, and also has an adjustable strap and buckles on the back.
The Pokémon Nylon Cap retails at $69.
No worries if you’re a person who loves to experiment with your fashion finds. The Reversible Pokémon Bucket Hat allows you to sport two different looks with just one hat.
Lightweight and water-resistant, the bucket hat features the lettering of Beyond The Vines on the front and finishes with a product label stitch on the side. Flip it inside out, and you’ll spot the motif of Pikachu on the reverse side.
The Reversible Pokémon Bucket Hat comes also in black and grey, and retails at $69.
Nothing beats wearing a T-shirt that offers both comfort and style just like the Pokémon T-shirt in designs of Mew, Gengar, and Pikachu. Mew enthusiasts can express their love for the Pokémon through this black T-shirt, which features a print of it on the back.
Be sure to also share some love with the Gengar and Pikachu T-shirts in white and navy respectively.
Each Pokémon T-shirt retails at $79.
Whether you’re going on a camp trip at East Coast Park or Sentosa, be sure to bring along the Pokémon Camp Chair to sit and recharge. Made from durable polyester canvas, the camp chair repeats the Pikachu motif and its stats as seen in the collection on the sitting section.
Since the foldable camp chair also comes with a separate bag, it makes it easier for you to carry and transport it around.
The Pokémon Camp Chair has dimensions of 57.5cm x 61cm x 50cm, and retails at $79.
Have heads turning the next time you skateboard when you bring along the Pokémon Skate in designs of Charizard and Pikachu.
Both skate decks come in black, and feature an outline of the Pokémon in their representative colours like orange and yellow. They even have the biodata of both Pokémons printed on the side for additional swag factor.
Both skate decks are crafted from maple wood and are completed with a matte black finish for a sleek look.
Each Pokémon Skate Deck retails at $159.
The Beyond The Vines x Pokémon collection is for those looking to add a dose of edgy nostalgia to their everyday look. Eager trainers can look forward to the release on 17 February 2023, and the items will be available on Beyond The Vines’ official website and at all physical stores.
