Over the last year, maybe even more, we've been slowly adding to our collection of Japanese Kawaii inspired designs including some exclusive Studio Ghibli clothing and super popular Polly Pocket bags and accessories. These have all quickly become some of our most-loved items and we're sure they will be around for a long while yet!

Not in the loop? Originating from Japan, Kawaii (translated as 'cute' in Japanese) is a style that follows strong themes from anime and manga and is typically styled as bright, pastel colours promoting innocence and being totally loveable. What's not to love about that?

Getting ourselves totally stuck into this cult sensation, we've created and collected some totally stunning Kawaii merchandise including some of our top picks below. Take a peep!

Ticking all kinds of kawaii boxes is our stunning Purple Polly Pocket Heart and Bow Cross Body Bag. Packed with details and nostalgia, it's sure to become a real fave of any 90s lover.

Featuring the famously provocative leg-crossing scene from the racy nineties movie, Basic Instinct, this tee will appeal to fans of the modern day cult classic. Starring Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas, Basic Instinct was one hell of a raunchy release, hitting our cinema screens way back in 1992.
