Some of our readers may recall when we introduced Donguri Closet. A spinoff brand of Donguri Republic, the most famous maker of goods for Studio Ghibli's classic films, Donguri Closet launched last Spring as "a brand focusing on the kindhearted heroines (of Ghibli Studio films) who have a strong will and determine their own lives." The brand wants to appeal to women who watched Studio Ghibli films as girls and are now older but still cherish their memories of that experience. Thus, they hope you'll open this "closet" of memories and discover "a place where you can be yourself" through their products.

Ghibli heroine relaxwear

On June 26th, 2021, Donguri Closet will release four types of relaxwear inspired by the heroines of Laputa: Castle in the Sky, Kiki's Delivery Service and The Secret World of Arrietty.

The distinctive motifs of the three heroines, Sheeta, Kiki, and Arrietty, have been subtly added to the designs. The oversized dresses can be worn comfortably as loungewear or everyday wear.

In addition, you'll also be able to buy exclusive pouches and scrunchies with motifs from Laputa: Castle in the Sky and The Secret World of Arrietty at Donguri Closet stores and online. Why not buy them together as a set?
