Deep-sea fish occupy a special place in the hearts of the Japanese, and the love has spread to museums and exhibitions dedicated solely to the elusive creatures, as well as to squeal-worthy goods that let admirers showcase their adoration everywhere they go.

One of the most recent set of goods dedicated to our friends from the ocean come from Japanese online retailer Felissimo. Introduced through their YOU+MORE! series are pouches of 4 of the most widely known creatures of the deep. Even though deep-sea fish are often perceived as mysterious and unsightly, these new goods are guaranteed to convert you into a fan (if you aren’t already, that is).

Small and easy to carry around, they’re still roomy enough to hold all your essentials. The details are realistic too, and you can proudly take them out on quick errands, or always have them in your bag.

The fish pouches are available to buy as one set for 2,000 yen (18.20 USD) through the YOU+MORE! online store. One of the four will be sent each month, until they all make it from the depths of the sea to your doorstep. You’ll even be contributing to the preservation of these unique deep-sea fish, as 50 yen (0.45 USD) from every purchase will be donated to deep-sea conservation efforts and research.

Since they’re also the final batch of goods of a 3-part series of deep-sea fish items, you can purchase the previous sets and collect all 16!
