If you're a fan of Studio Ghibli films, you may already know about Donguri Republic and the wonderful themed goods they make. Some of the hit products we've introduced before include a No-Face Piggy Bank that devours coins and burps, a Jiji Piggy Bank that dances and plays music from Kiki's Delivery Service, summer-themed Totoro tableware, embroidered sukajan vintage Japanese jackets, and original tea blends from Lupicia in beautiful Studio Ghibli-themed tins.

In addition to Lupicia, Donguri Republic has also collaborated with other brands such as SteamCream, a steam-emulsified moisturizing cream packed with twelve, 100% naturally active ingredients which has earned a loyal following in Japan, the UK and many other countries. Their charming set of Studio Ghibli-themed tins was a hit in 2017, and now they've collaborated again on a completely new lineup you'll surely love.
