Gucci x Doraemon
Born on September 3rd, 2112, a cat-type robot was sent from the 22nd century to help a young boy called Nobita with secret gadgets from his four-dimensional pouch. A playful character, Doraemon hates mice and loves Dorayaki, a sweet pancake.
To celebrate the upcoming Chinese New Year, commencing on February 12th, and which heralds the Year of the Ox, Gucci’s Creative Director Alessandro Michele has imagined a dedicated collection of special items that feature the famous Japanese manga and anime character, Doraemon.
In a true manga-inspired fashion, Doraemon joins Gucci for the Epilogue collection.

I had the pleasure of staying here for two nights - come and see my photo diary and what I got up to.
