New Collaboration HbG x Blythe

 Exclusive HbG x Blythe doll carry bag

We are in the mist of Spring in Japan, and that means time for new accessories! 

I'm so excited to share the new collaboration HbG x Blythe. We worked closely with Japanese handbag brand HbG to make these fun and fashionable bags.

HbG is well known around Japan for being very fashionable and functional. They are made of a special PVC which is great for rainy season. The inside of the bag has beautiful lining and each are so very well made. 

For the Blythe collaboration, there is a special bag charm of 3 different Blythe dolls: Border Spirit, Ten Happy or Tart and Tea.  HbG even made an exclusive doll carrying bag. It's a great way to take your Blythe with you where ever you go, and keep them protected in style!

We will have the HbG x Blythe collaboration bags and wallets available at Junie Moon from April 27.

Blythe Knows Q & A: Middie Blythe Nellie Nibbles

Q1: What kind of girl is Nellie Nibbles? 
  ねりーにぶるすは　どんなせいかくのこですか？

A1:  Nellie Nibbles loves to eat! She is always nibbling on something, pretty much all day long.  But because she is a vegetarian, she never gains weight. She eats smart, mostly carrots but she also loves broccoli.
ネリーニブルスは食べることが大好きで、ほとんど一日中、ちょこちょこ何かを食べてるの。
その理由は、彼女がベジタリアンだからで、体重が増えたりすることはないわね。
彼女の食べ方はとても賢いわ。ニンジンをたくさん食べて、あとはブロッコリーも好き。

Q2: What is the meaning behind her name?
      ねりーにぶるすの　なまえの　ゆらい（なまえのいみ）をおしえてください。

A2: Nellie is a cute name for cute girls! A bit English I think. Like the other very famous bunny we all love, Nellie is also English! Nibbles means to munch on things a little at a time. She is a dainty eater.
「ネリー」はとても可愛らしい女の子の名前、イギリス系かしら。
私たちが大好きな、あの有名なうさぎちゃんのネリーみたいにね。
ニブルスはちょこちょこと少しずつ食べること、とても繊細な食べ方ね。

Q3: Is Nellie Nibbles friends with Melomelomew and Meowsy Wowsy?                   ねりーにぶるすは、めろめろみゅ～や、みゃうじーわうじーと　おともだちですか？

A3: Yes, of course they are friends! But they don't really live in the same neighborhood.  It's Nellie that comes to visit them from time to time. Usually in the spring, with a basket full of spring veggies and colored chocolate eggs.
もちろん、彼らはお友達です！
残念ながら、近くには住んでいないけれどね。
でも、ネリーは彼らのところに時間をみつけては遊びに行っているはずですよ。
大概は春だと思いますよ。春の採れたての野菜とカラフルな色紙に包まれたチョコレートの卵を
バスケットにたくさんつめて、遊びに出かけるのをよく見かけます。

Q4: How do you play with Blythe dressed as animals?     
      きぐるみのこたちの　あそびかたを　おしえてください。

A4: It's adorable to play with Blythe as a bunny or a kitty. They are soft all over and very hug-able. Spring is the perfect time to take them out to the flower fields for a walk or a cup of tea at an outdoor cafe.
ブライスにうさぎちゃんやこねこちゃんの着ぐるみを着せると、もうたまらなく可愛らしいでしょう。全部がふわふわで、一度抱きしめたら離れられないくらい。春はそんな彼らを外に連れ出して、お花畑をお散歩させたり、アウトドアな雰囲気の素敵なカフェでお茶を飲んだりするには最適の季節だと思いますよ。

Q5: If you were to make another outfit for Nellie what would it be?   
もうひとつ、じゅんこさんだったら、ねりーにぶるすに、どんなファッションをさせたいですか？

A5: I would make something for her to wear over her furry body. Since it's spring, an apron and a bonnet, or an overall and a straw hat with flowers everywhere. In the winter I would knit her a sweater.
彼女のファーのある体の上に着られる何かを考えますね。春らしく、エプロンやボネット、オーバーオール、お花をいっぱい飾った麦わら帽子にもいいですね。
冬だったら、ニットで編んだセーターとかね！
