Last year German-based plush toy company Steiff released a collaborative teddy bear with legendary fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld. Now they present another high-profile release with Japanese cotton masters, Loopwheeler. Well known for their recent work with Nike Sportswear, Loopwheeler manufactured a miniature hoody complete with elastic cuffs, metal zipper, chest patch and screenprinting. Denim overalls and canvas sneakers are also in the works for a final release. The patch was created with a Germany meets Japan motif – paying homage to the global nature of the collaboration. A “human” size version can been seen after the jump.
