The zipper pouches feature 251 different Pokemon-themed fabrics.
In 2019, clothing company Original Stitch and The Pokemon Company launched a clothing line called “Pokemon Shirts,” which allows shoppers to customize and purchase shirts made of Pokemon-inspired fabric.
Earlier this year, Original Stitch expanded its Pokemon-themed clothing line with two new products — Pokemon Bandannas and Pokemon Masks — and now, the line is being expanded yet again with the release of Pokemon Shirts Mini-Pouches. These pouches can be used to store small items (like pens or markers) and close with a zipper.
Unlike the company’s other products, these Mini-Pouches won’t be available to purchase. Instead, a Mini-Pouch will be given away for free to everyone who purchases a Pokemon Shirt, while supplies last. Pokemon Shirts themselves cost $100 (for adults) and $85 (for children). To be especially clear, these Mini-Pouches will only be given to shoppers who buy a Pokemon Shirt — not a Pokemon Bandanna or Pokemon Mask.
The Mini-Pouches will feature the 251 fabrics that are available in the Pokemon Shirts line. These fabrics represent the Pokemon found in Generations 1-2 of the Pokemon universe (those pocket monsters seen in the Pokemon Red and Blue and Pokemon Silver and Gold video games). Each pouch measures 5.9 inches x 7.9 inches.
In a press release, Marina Carroll, marketing manager at Original Stitch, commented on these Mini-Pouches:
“This is our holiday gift to fans. Giving back to the community that supported us with fun gifts is something we love to do. In addition, Pokémon Mini-Pouches support our passion for sustainability. They are made from fabric remnants left over from the tailoring of our shirts to reduce waste!
