Minions Collaborate with Cafe de Crie: A Delightful Happy Bag this Winter

In an exciting first collaboration, Cafe de Crie, operated by C-United Co., Ltd. based in Minato, Tokyo, has partnered with the iconic Minions. Starting November 19, you can reserve the special 'Minions Cafe de Crie Happy Bag' in limited quantities! This unique offering will be available for in-store purchase starting December 10, along with an online launch that begins the same day at 8 PM.

The Perfect Blend of Fun and Flavor

This collaboration emerged from shared themes between Cafe de Crie and the Minions, particularly their love for bananas. Since its inception in 2021, Cafe de Crie's 'Body Happiness® Menu' has highlighted healthy options, featuring fresh fruit smoothies and low-carb meals. Bananas, a favorite among the Minions, play a significant role in this partnership, merging the playful essence of both brands with their striking yellow color.

The Happy Bag includes five delightful items that cater to your holiday needs, featuring a cozy beret bag perfect for winter, a simple pouch, memo pad, three product vouchers, and two types of baked goods. Each item is designed to speak to the cheerful spirit of the season while seamlessly integrating into daily life.

Cozy and Cute: The Boa Bag

The standout item in the Happy Bag is the adorable boa bag made from fluffy material, adding warmth and charm to your winter wardrobe. It comes in two colors, gray and brown, allowing you to choose your favorite. Each bag features a cute patch depicting the lively scenes of the Minions playing together. On the gray boa bag, you can see Bob, Kevin, and Stuart showcasing their playful personalities with Tim riding on Bob's head. The brown option features Otto playfully giving a piggyback ride to Bob, enhancing its overall charm.

Daily Essentials: Pouch and Memo Pad

The round pouch captures the essence of friendship among Minions, designed with beloved characters cuddling together. The depiction of Bob tenderly holding Tim, along with a close-knit group of four Minions, represents the camaraderie the series is known for. Measuring approximately 15cm in width and 12cm in height, this pouch is perfect for storing cosmetics or stationery.

Accompanying the pouch is a memo pad featuring the same cheerful design, sure to bring a smile every time you open it. The playful arrangement of the Minions is visually appealing, making it a fun addition to your stationery collection.
