Magical Merchandise: Loungefly Stitch Shoppe
It's been exactly one month since Loungefly debuted their new Stitch Shoppe clothing line. Loungefly has been a favorite of mine for years. As of late, they're known for making the mini backpacks you see in shops all over both Walt Disney World and Disneyland. However, they've been making other items like novelty purses, wallets, make up bags, pins and other accessories for years now.
With Loungefly's somewhat new partnership with Funko, they're now able to produce items for so many more fandoms. They've had many Disney, Marvel, Star Wars and Harry Potter items for a while now, but more recently, they've also had Dr. Who, DC Comics, Pokemon, Coca-Cola, Stranger Things, Hello Kitty, Nickelodeon, Looney Tunes, Dr. Seuss and more. And I'm sure they'll introduce even more brands soon!
A month ago, Loungefly launched their "Stitch Shoppe" and joined the clothing game with a collection of women's dresses, shirts, skirts, mouse ears and a handbag. A lot of the items were Minnie and Mickey, princess or Up themed... and I was so excited.
Not knowing how quickly things would sell out, I was prepared with a plan of attack to commence as soon as the collection launched at noon on Saturday June 20th. I was home at my parents' house that weekend, so they were also in on my plan.
Thankfully, Loungefly had placed guides to the sizing on all of their items the night before. I meticulously went over the sizing charts and wrote down exactly what I wanted to get and what sizes I needed to order them in.
When the collection launched, my Dad was actually on his way to pick Mom up from the hospital. Nana and I were at home and I was in and checked out before 5 minutes had even passed. In hindsight, the only items that sold out super quick this release were the Up handbag (they're making more of those to release anyways) and the smaller clothing sizes. Everything I bought was still available hours, days and weeks after the initial release. (That makes me feel a little better about next time!)
I love, love, love everything I bought! I was pretty precise with my selections this first time around. Pixar Up clothing and merchandise usually sells out pretty quickly so I was sure to get the dress, shirt and skirt that I liked. I also got the Cinderella mice and birds dress because I'm obsessed with all things Cinderella and her little bird and mice friends sewing her pink dress and those have also been very popular as of late.
I love all of the little details on the stuff I got. The Up dress is covered in Carl's house with the balloons carrying it into the sky. The belt is white and has the "Carl and Ellie" and their handprints- like their mailbox- as a detail on it. On the back, it also has embroidery of "Adventure is out there!" It's so cute!
The Up shirt and skirt are also adorable. I love all of the characters on the skirt. The colors are so bright! I'm so excited to have a shirt that matches it perfectly too!
The Cinderella dress has pink ribbons, thread, buttons, measuring tapes and her bird and mice friends all over it. My favorite part of this design is that the belt on this is reversible... and one side is the tape measure! This dress also matches with three Loungefly bags I already own! I can't wait to wear them together!
There's also plenty of items from the initial release that are still available. I love the Minnie Balloon skirt and matching shirt, as well as the Mickey and Minnie balloon dress! I also love the Minnie polka dot set. Maybe I'll go back for those eventually... I know I'll certainly be looking into asking for more Loungefly items for Christmas!
They also just released their new Coca-Cola collection! I love all of the cherry details on this collection. My Dad loves Coca-Cola so I might have to get something from this collection eventually! It would be perfect to wear to the store in Disney Springs!
I'm really excited for all the possibilities with Loungefly's new Stitch Shoppe clothing line! I can't wait to see what they have in store for this fall's collection! These outfits will be so much fun to add a little more magic to my wardrobe!!! °o°
