Japanese fashion brand SuperGroupies, known for its collaborations with anime and game franchises, has previously teamed up with titles like "The Five Star Stories," "DATE A LIVE," and "Hatsune Miku," all to rave reviews.
They've just dropped news of their latest partnership with "Touken Ranbu -ONLINE-," the free-to-play card battle web game developed by Nitro+ and operated by DMM. This time, they're rolling out a collection of collaboration bags inspired by four of the game's iconic Swordsmen. Each bag is priced at 18,700 JPY and is currently available for pre-order on their official website.
This fresh lineup features designs inspired by four fan-favorite characters: Hizen Tadahiro, Himezuru Ichimonji, Jikkyu Mitsutada, and Gouka Kanemitsu. Each bag masterfully incorporates the unique aesthetics and characteristics of its respective Swordsman, boasting a versatile, gender-neutral design perfect for any fan.
▼ Hizen Tadahiro Model
This bag sports a bold "black x deep red" color block design, drawing its sleek, sharp inspiration directly from the Swordsman Hizen Tadahiro. Crafted from soft synthetic leather with suede accents, it strikes the perfect balance between casual cool and refined style. The wide opening makes grabbing your essentials a breeze, while the calm gray lining features a handy inner pocket for smaller items. Plus, a subtle tag embossed with the Swordsman's crest adds a touch of intricate detail.
The included tassel charm mirrors the bandages around Hizen Tadahiro's neck, weaving in a deeper narrative. With an adjustable strap, this bag is as practical as it is stylish.
▼ Himezuru Ichimonji Model
Built on a minimalist black and white palette, this bag's silhouette takes cues from Himezuru Ichimonji's iconic look. The decorative belt detail on the front is inspired by the accessories on his chest, while a peek of red lining in the inner pocket adds a subtle layer of visual depth. Even the sides of the bag feature an embossed pattern reminiscent of a jacket collar – no detail was overlooked! The tassel charm's colors are a nod to his close companion, Gouka Kanemitsu.
It comes with a zippered inner pocket for easy organization of smaller items, and yes, it also features that beloved embossed Swordsman crest tag – a treat for detail enthusiasts! With ample space, it comfortably fits A4 documents and folders.
▼ Jikkyu Mitsutada Model
This "black x white" color-blocked bag features a distinctive patchwork flap design. The surface is embossed with a pattern mimicking scars, while the sides are adorned with button-like floral accents. The interior lining boasts an original print specially designed to evoke the subtle glimpse of Jikkyu Mitsutada's attire around his waist, revealing a completely different vibe when the flap is opened.
The accompanying tassel charm's colors echo the ornament on Jikkyu Mitsutada's left shoulder, forging a stronger connection to the character. Beyond the front open pocket, a thoughtfully designed zippered pocket ensures your smaller essentials stay neatly organized.
▼ Gouka Kanemitsu Model
Sporting a sophisticated "black x gray" color scheme, this bag exudes a mature and composed elegance. The adjustable strap takes its design cue from Gouka Kanemitsu's tied-up long hair. Inside, a specially designed printed fabric lining draws inspiration from the subtle inner lining of Gouka Kanemitsu's jacket. An embossed leather tag featuring the Swordsman's crest adds a hidden highlight, while a built-in zippered pocket keeps your belongings tidy and accessible.
The included tassel charm's colors are inspired by his close companion, Himezuru Ichimonji, allowing fans to feel the emotional connection between the characters even in the smallest details.
