As one of Japan’s biggest artists within the last few years, Takashi Murakami’s Superflat aesthetic has become a house-hold style in the contemporary art world. Seeing his work extend over multiple mediums thanks to extensive team-ups with Louis Vuitton, a recent coming together of the two powerhouse brands created a small collection of plush items. Murakami’s “Putipanda” features a colorful design over both a large-sized plush toy as well as a smaller mobile phone charm. Available on July 30th at Cliff Edge.

    I played with one of these on Omotesando in Tokyo. They are made CHEAP. They look CHEAP. Feel CHEAP. Incredibly banal.
