The Walt Disney Company (Japan) Ltd. is set to enchant fans with a brand-new collection celebrating the 55th anniversary of the beloved Disney animated film, The Aristocats. This exquisite line, centered around the fashion-forward kitten Marie, will debut sequentially from December 19th (Friday) at Disney Store locations, with an early release starting December 16th (Tuesday) at select Disney Stores and the official Disney online store. The collection promises an elegant and girly aesthetic, interwoven with delicate ribbons and ethereal tulle, bringing Marie’s sophisticated world to life.
The collection showcases original artwork featuring Marie, captivated by ribbons, reflecting her playful yet refined personality. Each item is crafted to embody Marie’s unique charm, combining various materials like ribbons and tulle to achieve a distinctly elegant and feminine design.

The lineup extends to a rich array of soft-hued accessories and fashion pieces accented with delicate ribbons. Discover a luxurious 2-way blanket that transforms into a frilly cushion, a chic pouch adorned with a black ribbon, and charming keychains—perfect for both home and on-the-go. For winter fashion, the collection offers cozy sweaters, stylish blousons, and elegant stoles, all designed to elevate your cold-weather wardrobe with a touch of sweet charm.
