Apparently the Tamagotchi is not a relic of the 90s; Bandai, Sync Beats and Mighty Fine have teamed up to create a Tamagotchi clothing line. If you’re feeling a little nostalgic for your childhood, keep an eye out for this fun, upcoming collaboration.
Unlike your Tamagotchi, this line has a longer shelf life and with minimal effort. In other words, your new Tamagotchi sweater won’t perish if you neglect to feed it. The line is incredibly expansive, including items like active wear and home decor, along with your regular skirts, pants and shirts.
I can only assume that the new Tamagotchi clothing line will be quirky and fun. After all, it’s a clothing line based on a beloved children's toy/pet hybrid. But you don’t have to be a child to enjoy this line; along with the younger market, it's also available for adult women.
