Japanese loungewear brand Gelato Pique, known for its collaborations with prominent Nintendo franchises, has expanded its range of cozy and character-inspired fashion with the introduction of the 'Colorful Yoshi' collection.
Renowned for previous hits such as Animal Crossing slippers and Mario-themed pajamas, Gelato Pique continues to captivate Nintendo Switch fans and collectors with official, high-quality apparel and accessories.
The Colorful Yoshi collection features a variety of pastel-colored, plush items inspired by the iconic green dinosaur from the Super Mario series.
This release marks yet another creative partnership between Gelato Pique and Nintendo, following earlier successes that resonated with fans around the globe.
The collection celebrates the enduring popularity of Yoshi, a staple character from the Nintendo universe, whose amiibo figures—most notably the Yarn Yoshi series—have enjoyed robust demand since their debut.
Notable highlights from the Colorful Yoshi line include:
- Fluffy hoodies and matching shorts available in green, pink, and blue
- Nightgowns adorned with pastel Yoshi prints
- Coordinated bags, organizers, blankets, and pouches
- Hand towels offered in a spectrum of colors—blue, green, yellow, pink, and purple—packaged in signature egg-shaped cases
Customers who place pre-orders for any item in the Yoshi Collection will receive a limited-edition Yoshi bag, crafted in Gelato Pique’s pastel blue and featuring imagery of a sleeping Yoshi.
These pre-order gifts are available while supplies last and are limited to three items per product type per customer, underlining the collection's exclusivity.
According to Gelato Pique, shipping for pre-orders will commence in June 2022, with international shipping available through Gelato Pique USA.
The new line offers Nintendo enthusiasts and collectors outside Japan the opportunity to own officially licensed, premium merchandise inspired by one of gaming’s most beloved sidekicks.
Gelato Pique’s continued collaboration with Nintendo underlines the increasing demand for lifestyle products tied to major gaming properties, as the Nintendo Switch ecosystem continues to expand through both the eShop and physical releases.
As with past collections, fan response is expected to be enthusiastic, particularly among those who appreciate both comfort and iconic video game design.
For fans seeking to showcase their love for Yoshi while enjoying luxury loungewear, the Colorful Yoshi collection sets a new standard for Nintendo-themed attire.
Pre-orders are now live on the Gelato Pique USA website, and based on previous launches, select items are likely to sell out quickly.
