The French luxury leather goods brand Longchamp has announced a new line of products called Longchamp × Pokémon （ロンシャン × ポケモン） which will be sold starting on October 9th, 2020 at Longchamp stores and then it will expand to further stores worldwide on October 14th, 2020. The collection features Pikachu on a wide variety of bags and pouches. The Longchamp brand, founded by Jean Cassegrain in Paris, France in 1948, is a maison brand that fuses modern luxury with creativity and dynamism.

The Maison's iconic "Le Pliage®" collection has been transformed by Pikachu and has brought the "kawaii" trend to the world. Pikachu's electrifying loveliness has been preserved in four new product lines. Among them is Le Pliage® Cuir Pokémon, a numbered leather bag limited to 500 pieces worldwide.

Artistic Director Sophie Delafontaine said: "Each season, Longchamp's Le Pliage® creates innovative collaborations with designers, artists, architects and fashion bloggers, taking us to a world we have not yet reached. This was the brand's first collaboration to bring together the fashion, entertainment and gaming industries, and it was exciting to work with Pokémon and its iconic character, Pikachu. We hope you will enjoy this special collection that blends two different worlds - real and virtual."

To commemorate this collaboration, the Pokémon GO Style Shop will be offering a selection of free dress-up items based on Le Pliage® Collection Pokémon from Saturday, October 3rd, 2020. In addition, Pokémon wearing fashion items will be available for one week only from Saturday, October 3rd, 2020 to Friday, October 9th, 2020 at 2:00 p.m. Trainers can not only catch Pokémon in the wild, but also challenge Raid Battles and hatch new eggs to get fashionable Pokémon. By wearing the collaboration items, you can enjoy wearing fashionable outfits with Trainers and Pokémon that appear in the app for a limited time. Full details were announced by Niantic is late September 2020 for this in-game event.

The High Class Pack Shiny Star V Rurina Set will be released on Friday, November 20th, 2020. As the name suggests, this set is a beautiful and cool set with generous use of Rurina's illustrations. It will cost 12,430 yen and feature cards from the Shiny Star V set.

Nessa (ルリナ Rurina), is the leader of Bow Town's gym, and she has a competitive nature with a hidden competitive spirit, despite her gentle tone. However, this illustration of her swimming with her Pokémon gives a different impression than the one we see in the gym.


Also, as expected of Rurina, who also works as a model, she looks beautiful swimming with her Pokémon!　She grew up playing with water-type Pokémon, all the Pokémon, including a Kajirigame, which is said to have a ferocious character, have come for a swim with her. Now, let's take a look at the beautiful illustrations!

And that's not all. The High Class Pack Shiny Star V Rurina Set also includes a Rurina-Patterned Pokémon Coin!


Pokémon coins are just so useful to have. There are many Pokémon moves that change the damage and effects and they are also used to check for Sleep and Burns during Pokémon checks, so they come into play a lot during a match! Players love to have attention-grabbing coin patterns!　This is the first time we've had a Rurina patterned one, so players are going to wow their opponents with its beauty!

Yes, it's a beautiful coin. You can see how it sparkles and shines depending on the angle. Please hold it in your hands and check out this beauty!　You might want to build a deck that uses a lot of coins to show off it off.

In addition to these goodies, the High Class Pack Shiny Star V Rurina Set includes two boxes of Shiny Star V.

• High Class Pack Shiny Star V x 2 boxes
• Deck Shield x 64 pieces
• Deck Case x 1
