In addition, Gucci released trainers for men and women and slides for women featuring characters Bananya and Tabby Bananya, and jewelry such as a chain necklace featuring Bananya as a pendant and a colored crystal and fabric brooch with the Bananya characters.
Bananya, the show by Kyō Yatate and produced by Gathering and TMS Entertainment, follows a white cat that lives inside a banana and the lives of its fellow fictional cat species. The show produced two series, Bananya in 2016 and Bananya and the Curious Bunch in 2019.
Gucci has partnered with anime and manga series in the past, including Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure through a collaboration with creator Hirohiko Araki and Spur Magazine to celebrate the reopening of the house’s Shinjuku store in Japan.
The collection is available now on the Gucci website, with prices ranging from $450 to $1,250.
