Uniqlo’s SpongeBob SquarePants collection with Cactus Plant Flea Market
Japanese clothing company Uniqlo has launched a new capsule collection of apparel and accessories inspired by the SpongeBob SquarePants animated franchise.
The pieces are designed by American fashion label Cactus Plant Flea Market, which is known for its subversive takes on familiar characters, such as reimagining them with four eyes instead of two.
Their “double vision” takes on SpongeBob and his friends are available on T-shirts ($14.90 to $19.90) and hoodies ($29.90 to $49.90) in adult and kid sizes. There is also a Krusty Krab cap ($29.90, free size) inspired by the fictional fast-food restaurant that features in the television series, and four-eyed plush toys of SpongeBob and his starfish best friend Patrick Star ($39.90 each).
