THE PARK • ING GINZA recently released a Peanuts collection, which takes the beagle owned by the character Charlie Brown in the iconic comic strip series and transforms him into wearable graphic images.
The apparel is relatively simple, with hues like white, gray and black marking the fabric. On the front of each piece, a graphic is featured. On one sweater, the beagle is shown in round sunglasses and a bright red sweater that has a "P" on the front, which represents THE PARK • ING GINZA's name. Others state "PARK" on the front and show Snoopy sleeping on top of the letters, similarly to how he sleeps on his dog house in the comic series.
