🤓MY PLUSHY VALENTINE
It’s all about the love of simple things—small joys you can slip into your bag, your pants pocket, or keep close wherever you go. Plushies don’t ask for much. They just stay soft, stay cute, and stay close. This Valentine’s Day, love something simple.
With our model Kobe Chan, we couldn’t decide who he resembles most. Is it Hirono? Kubo? Hachipupu? Dimoo? One thing’s for sure: our Cool Valentine Muse is very, very cute. Fit as heaven. You’ll melt the moment he smiles. If COOL MAGAZINE were in a relationship, it would be with him. #CoolNERD #CoolisinSession
So Ugly It’s Cute, FUGGLER
Fuggler doesn’t try to be pretty—and that’s the magic. So ugly, it’s irresistible. This pink one? Captain Cardiac? Extra special. Absolutely to die for.

The IT Girl Forever, HELLO KITTY TAN X CHAGEE
