German plush toy brand NICI and Tokyo-based bag label RAMIDUS are teaming up for a collaborative collection launching June 20, 2026 — a meeting of two very different worlds that yields something genuinely unexpected.

At the heart of the collaboration is a reimagining of NICI’s iconic LOVE BEAR. Using fabric from RAMIDUS’s popular BLACK BEAUTY series, the bear has been reconstructed through the lens of RAMIDUS’s all-black aesthetic — stripping away its toylike character in favor of something more considered and wearable.

The result transcends the plush toy’s origins: by absorbing RAMIDUS’s monochromatic, fashion-forward sensibility, the LOVE BEAR becomes an object that functions across age groups, genders, and lifestyles.

The collection also includes a packable tote bag with a LOVE BEAR face-shaped storage compartment — a functional piece that nods knowingly to the collaboration’s playful roots.

Items will be available at RAMIDUS TOKYO STORE, RAMIDUS’s online store, and select stockists for both brands. For details, visit https://www.ramidustokyo.com/
