This year, Gelato Pique, the much-loved Japanese brand known for its cosy and stylish loungewear, has partnered once again with the ever-popular Duffy & Friends. From 2 October 2025, Tokyo DisneySea’s McDuck’s Department Store will be the exclusive venue for the release of a collection of loungewear and special goods
◆A Cosy Autumn-Winter Collection
The collection centres around Duffy the Disney bear and his friends, ShellieMay, Gelatoni, and other beloved characters who have captured the hearts of Disney fans worldwide. Gelato Pique is renowned for its fluffy fabrics and soft colours, making this collaboration an ideal choice for the colder seasons.
The headline items are the long-sleeve pullover and long trouser loungewear sets. Each set reflects the signature colour of the characters: warm beige for Duffy, soft pink for ShellieMay, and pastel green for Gelatoni. The designs are simple, with large embroidered character motifs on the front. The embroidery is slightly raised, adding depth and softness that enhances their cosy appeal.
◆Cardigans with Character
Fans looking for something a little more versatile will be pleased with the bordered cardigan collection. These pieces include subtle but clever detailing, such as Duffy’s face embroidered on the chest and back, and even buttons shaped like Duffy himself. It is these small but thoughtful touches that show Gelato Pique’s dedication to design and quality.
Even more delightful is the chance to create a matching look with your very own Duffy plush toy. The range includes miniature costumes for Duffy plushes, replicating the same designs as the adult-sized cardigans. These mini outfits carry the same button details and patterned backs, allowing fans to twin with their cuddly companion. It is a fun and whimsical idea that adds another layer of charm to the collection.
◆Blankets and Handy Pouches
No seasonal collection would be complete without accessories, and Gelato Pique has designed each piece with comfort and practicality in mind. The range includes a knitted blanket, perfect for keeping warm on cold nights at home or during a winter trip. The blankets continue the soft, fluffy theme, blending cosiness with a touch of Disney magic.
Another highlight is the round pouch. Made with a fluffy, raised texture, it features Duffy’s friendly face and logo embroidered in the centre. Inside, there are small pockets, making it as useful as it is cute. Perfect for storing little essentials.
◆How to Buy
The collection will launch on 2 October 2025 at McDuck’s Department Store in Tokyo DisneySea.
The address is: 1-1 Maihama, Urayasu, Chiba.
Due to high demand, entry to the shop may require a Standby Pass, a system often used for exclusive or limited launches at Disney parks. Customers are advised to check the Tokyo Disney Resort website for the latest updates before their visit.
For those unable to attend in person, there is good news: the collection will also be available for reservation through the official Tokyo Disney Resort app, starting on the same day. This gives fans across Japan a chance to secure their items without braving the queues.
