Studio Ghibli has expanded its anime merchandise store in Japan to include Totoro family goods. The iconic grey giant Totoro, from the beloved film My Neighbour Totoro, will likely be the first character that comes to mind when thinking about the movie. However, Totoro is often accompanied by two other characters in the film - a blue "Medium Totoro" and a white "Small Totoro."
To showcase the charm of all three Totoros, the studio's Donguri Kyowakoku specialty retail chain has released a collection of bags featuring them. The centerpiece of the collection is the Large Totoro Fluffy Tote Bag, priced at 5,280 yen ($33.27). This taupe-colored bag, a blend of dark brown and grey, is adorned with the character's soft whiskers, which are visible on the Large Totoro and distinguish it from the others.
The bag's warm, fluffy fabric makes it perfect for chilly outings during the autumn and winter seasons.
