Ten anime fashion brands dropped collections this week.
Three are genuinely interesting. Two feel like filler.

But one collab surprised me: anime pirates meeting surf culture in a way that actually works.

Here’s what’s on my radar this week:

Luxury fashion brand Anteprima just launched a high-end collection inspired by Cinnamoroll, and it might be the most expensive Sanrio merch you’ll see this year.

The CINNAMOROLL COLLECTION launched March 6 to celebrate Cinnamoroll’s birthday, bringing the character into Anteprima’s signature luxury wirebag style.

Instead of traditional character merch, this collab leans into designer handbags with playful character elements.

• Cinnamoroll Confetto Bag — $596.25
• Cinnamoroll Pouch — $403.75
• Cinnamoroll 3D Wirebag — $1,127.50

This is a good example of something I’ve been noticing more lately:
anime and Sanrio characters entering the luxury fashion space.

This collection is regional exclusive and only available in:

Italy
Japan
Mainland China
Hong Kong
Hawaii
Singapore
Thailand
South Korea
Taiwan

⭐ My take:
It’s definitely not cheap, but this is one of the cleanest luxury Sanrio collabs I’ve seen in a while.

📅 Pre-orders: March 6
📅 General Release: March 28
💰 Price Range: $42–$178

🎯 What to know:
Official apparel inspired by Mobile Suit Gundam designed with a premium motorcycle gear brand. The track jacket and “Red Comet” polo are the standout pieces.

⭐ My take:
This is peak Gundam nerd luxury. Expensive, but the aesthetic is closer to motorsport fashion than anime merch.

📅 Drops: March 12
💰 Price Range: $51–$132

🎯 What to know:
Japanese fashion brand HARE created a capsule inspired by the punk-rock style of Nana and Hachi. Expect lace-up pants, bustier jackets, and embroidered tops.

🔗 https://www.dot-st.com/hare/cp/harere46

⭐ My take:
This is exactly what anime fashion should look like, character-inspired aesthetics instead of graphics slapped on blanks.

📅 Drops: March 12 — 6 PM CST

🎯 What to know:
Official collaboration licensed by VIZ Media with limited availability across the Americas, UK, and Oceania.

🔗 https://www.hashirastudios.com

⭐ My take:
If you like darker anime aesthetics, this one will probably sell out quickly.

📅 Drops: March 13

🎯 What to know:
New jewelry collection featuring character-inspired chains and pendants.

🔗 https://www.kingice.com/

⭐ My take:
King Ice always leans flashy. If that’s your lane, you’ll love this.

Another anime streetwear collab is about to land.

New Streetwear label Subtitle is releasing a new collection inspired by Jujutsu Kaisen.

Early previews show graphic-driven pieces inspired by the series’ darker aesthetic, which makes sense given how strong Jujutsu Kaisen’s visual style is.

📅 Drop Date: March 16
⏰ Time: 10 AM PT

The brand is encouraging fans to sign up for alerts ahead of the launch, which usually means inventory could move quickly.

🔔 Sign up here:

⭐ My take:
Jujutsu Kaisen collaborations tend to move fast, especially when the designs lean into the series’ darker streetwear aesthetic rather than generic character prints.

If you're a fan of the series, this is one worth keeping on your radar.

Anime footwear is getting wild again.

Foot Locker is releasing a Zoro-themed Classic Clog inspired by Roronoa Zoro from One Piece, and it’s a Foot Locker exclusive.

The Zoro Crocs Classic Clog features bold character details along with exclusive Jibbitz™ charms designed around the swordsman’s aesthetic.

Think green tones, sword-inspired elements, and collectible charms that make the pair stand out immediately.

📅 Release Date: March 14
📍 Where: In-store + online at Foot Locker

Because this is a limited launch, Foot Locker is using the Foot Locker Launch App to give fans access to the drop.

If you want a pair, you’ll want to enter through the app ahead of time.

⭐ My take:
Anime Crocs always walk the line between ridiculous and amazing, and honestly this pair might be both.

But if you’re a One Piece fan, these will probably sell out fast. Good Luck!

📅 In-store: March 14
📅 Online: March 17

🎯 What to know:
Spring collection inspired by Hunter x Hunter.

⭐ My take:
Unfortunately Taiwan-only, but some resellers will definitely bring it overseas.

📅 Lookbook: March 9
📅 Pop-Up: March 14 (LA)
📅 Online: March 17

🎯 What to know:
Streetwear brand Vandy the Pink is dropping an Astro Boy capsule with a Complex pop-up in Los Angeles.

🔗 https://www.onvandylab.org/

⭐ My take:
This is one of the most fashion-forward anime collabs this month.

Streetwear brand Neptun NPTN just revealed a new merch collection inspired by Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Early previews show graphic-heavy streetwear pieces inspired by characters and elemental themes from the series.

📅 Drop Date: March 20, 2026
⏰ Release Time: 15:00 CET

If you’re into Avatar apparel, this is one to keep on your radar.

⭐ My take:
Avatar merch tends to sell quickly, especially when streetwear brands are involved. This will be my last time covering this brand as well.

📅 Pre-orders open now
💰 $40–$150

🎯 What to know:
New pieces including Akaza and Douma hoodies plus restocks.

🔗 https://otaku.shop/collections/demon-slayer

⭐ My take:
One of the few anime brands doing clean character-inspired hoodies instead of giant prints.

📅 Expected: March 14

💰 Price Range: TBD

🎯 What to know:
The brand teased new pieces and a restock across their Instagram story, expected mid-March.

⭐ My take:
This brand tends to move fast when restocks happen, so keep an eye on their socials if you’ve been waiting for pieces to return.

Toy giant Pop Mart just revealed a crossover between LABUBU from The Monsters series and Hello Kitty.

The figure features LABUBU wearing a Hello Kitty-inspired outfit, blending the mischievous Monsters aesthetic with Sanrio’s classic cute style.

THE MONSTERS × HELLO KITTY – Vinyl Plush Doll

📅 Greater China — March 12, 2026
🌍 Europe / Americas / Asia Pacific — Rolling release depending on region

For local availability, check your regional Pop Mart accounts.

⭐ My take:
Designer toy collectors are going to love this — LABUBU releases have been selling out fast globally.

A very unusual One Piece collectible is dropping this week.

Sports brand Absolutely Ridiculous is releasing a Monkey D. Luffy glove, inspired by the King of the Pirates himself.

The glove features bold pirate-inspired detailing and collectible design elements that lean more toward display piece than training equipment.

📅 Drop Date: March 13, 2026
⏰ Time: 1 PM CST

⭐ My take:
This is one of those drops that sits between sports gear and anime collectible, and I could see it becoming a cool display piece for serious One Piece fans.

Another boxing-inspired anime collaboration also dropped recently.

French brand ELION released a One Piece-inspired boxing glove designed around the theme of fighting for your dreams, just like the Straw Hats.

The design focuses on strength, determination, and pirate ambition, translating the anime’s themes into combat-sport gear.

📅 Released: March 6, 2026

⭐ My take:
It’s interesting seeing anime collabs move into combat sports gear, which actually fits One Piece’s energy pretty well.

Streetwear brand XCUTION Apparel is releasing a collection inspired by Samurai Champloo.

The drop is called REMIX SIDE A, which feels very on-theme given the series’ blend of hip-hop culture and samurai aesthetics.

📅 March 13

⏰ 3:00 PM CT
⏰ 1:00 PM ET
⏰ 4:00 PM PT
⏰ 9:00 PM GMT

Another Jujutsu Kaisen-inspired collection is dropping this week.

Brand Stitch Spring is releasing a capsule inspired by the series’ characters and visual style.

📅 Drop Date: March 15
⏰ Time: 2:30 PM EST

⭐ My take:
Jujutsu Kaisen continues to be one of the most popular anime for fashion collaborations right now, so it’s not surprising to see more brands jumping in.

Streetwear brand Sora Clothing just released its new SoraDragon collection.

The drop includes:

• Dragon Pants
• Dragon Hoodie

The aesthetic leans into dragon-themed graphics and anime-inspired streetwear silhouettes.

📅 Status: Available now

⭐ My take:
Fair warning, this brand has a reputation for very long shipping times(9 years long), so patience may be required if you order.
