Over a decade after Bandai's Harumika captured the hearts of kids with a love of fashion, a new collection is being introduced to appeal to a new generation. The fashion toy for kids includes mannequin torsos, fabric and accessories to inspire designers to create their own looks without needing to use scissors, glue or a sewing needle. The fashion design toy is highly reusable, which is not only useful for inspiring hours of play but also supporting sustainability.
Updated kits like the Single Torso Set Assortment and the Double Torso Set Assortment feature designs and fabrics inspired by fashion agency NelliRodi. There's also the Bridal Gown Set, which encourages kids to create their own special dresses with delicate satin and lace fabrics.
