An adorable collaboration with Amimono ☆ Horinouchi and Osamu Tezuka brings a couple of Unico designs! Horinouchi is a graphic designer that took up knitting in 2012 and focuses on making sweaters and knit bags. He’s produced several designs featuring musical and pop culture icons, and sold them on Etsy for many years.
The Unico items are available for preorder right now until July 16, 2023, and scheduled to ship mid-September (bags) and mid-October (sweaters) 2023. You’ll find them on the Amimono ☆ Horinouchi website.
All designs come in mint or pink colors. The sweaters are available in medium and large sizes. If you live outside of Japan, they do ship overseas so you may not need a buying service. Purchase items on their website by creating an account or checking out as a guest, then provide the correct information. The USD prices are just an estimate as the rates change often. Shipping is not included in these prices.
