Super Mario meets Gelato Pique in Japan’s coziest and latest loungewear sets

This fourth collaboration series with the Super Mario franchise adds 41 new styles to the mix including series antagonist Bowser for the first time.

Fashion trends come and go, but some pairings are immortal. Take Japanese loungewear and sleepwear brand Gelato Pique‘s long-running collaborations with the Super Mario series, for instance. With beloved characters that never go out of style, this team-up appears to have infinitely big potential–without the need for a Super Mushroom.

The fourth series in the Super Mario meets Gelato Pique collaboration will be released in Japan at Gelato Pique locations nationwide and its online store on January 26. With 41 new items mixing friends and foes, this is one lineup that super Super Mario fans won’t want to miss. Most items are made using Gelato Pique’s own brand of “Baby Moco” Jacquard fabric–a lightweight, soft-as-a-feather offering perfect for relaxing or taking a snooze in the comfort of home.
