Gelato Pique × Pokémon 3rd Collaboration: Pikachu and Raichu Couple Looks to Launch Online and Offline on September 9

Global loungewear brand Gelato Pique will present its third special collaboration collection, Pokémon meets GELATO PIQUE, starting Wednesday, September 9, 2026, through its official domestic online store and major offline channels.

This collection, which offers dreamlike moments alongside adorable Pokémon that excite everyone's hearts and naturally bring a smile to their faces, consists of special items that will fill daily life with more joy and warmth, from moments of adventure with Pokémon to comfortable relaxation and cozy sleep.

The most significant feature of this collection is an original design concept that links clothing sizes with the evolution stages of Pokémon. By placing Pikachu in ladies' sizes and Raichu in men's sizes, it proposes a couple link look that naturally completes an evolution narrative just by wearing them together. Beyond simple character merchandise, this collection adds uniqueness by interpreting the Pokémon worldview through sensible loungewear styles.

Moving one step further from previous series, this collection sees a variety of new Pokémon joining for the first time, such as Clefairy, Clefable, Marill, and Azumarill. Gelato Pique's signature baby moko material is characterized by a chewy, soft texture, offering an attractive fit that combines warmth and lightness. Additionally, the brand's namesake Gelato material has been loved for its fluffy texture and soft coziness. In this collection, based on these brand signature materials, a rich array of items showcasing the brand's material technology will be presented, including knit setups where each Pokémon's pattern is delicately implemented using a jacquard method, and knit setups featuring prominent three-dimensional ear and tail details of the Pokémon.

Along with the clothing line, lifestyle goods such as hairbands expressing each Pokémon's three-dimensional ears, clear material hair clips, evolution series pattern pouches and hand towels, and Pichu die-cut cushions will also be introduced. Designed as a total collection to fill daily spaces and styles with the Pokémon worldview, it is expected to provide a special experience to fans of all ages who love Pokémon.

The collection will be operated in limited quantities, and early sell-outs are expected. Sales channels will be deployed diversely across both online and offline. Online, it can be met through the official online store and MUSINSA, and offline, it can be purchased at the Hannam flagship store, as well as Hyundai Department Store Pangyo and Chungcheong branches, Galleria Department Store Luxury Hall WEST, and Lotte Department Store Jamsil (opening Friday, September 18). However, sales channels are subject to change depending on operating conditions.

Detailed information can be checked through the official online store and each store.

Pokémon, shortened to Pokémon, are mysterious creatures that hold numerous mysteries. They were first created in 1996 with the Game Boy software Pokémon Red and Green, and have received great love by capturing the fun of collecting by catching and raising Pokémon, and the fun of communication by exchanging and battling with friends. Since then, it has expanded into various fields such as card games, TV animation, movies, applications, and goods, gaining wide popularity worldwide.
