Since its launch in Tokyo's Harajuku in 1993, A BATHING APE® has led the street fashion scene for 27 years. Starting with the iconic Ape Head, the brand has continuously introduced groundbreaking designs like BAPE CAMO and the Shark Hoodie. In 2012, they launched "AAPE BY A BATHING APE®," a young line targeting the 10s and 20s demographic, expanding their reach to fashion enthusiasts across a wider age range.
BABY MILO®, in particular, has garnered immense popularity across two generations, parents and children alike, with its endearing appearance. In 2016, responding to fervent requests from character lovers globally, the BABY MILO® STORE opened, offering a diverse range of items including plush toys, accessories, bags, trinket boxes, and wallets.
He travels from the distant future seeking bananas, which have disappeared from Earth. Though typically expressionless, laid-back, meticulous, and a bit shy, he adores singing and dancing. His favorite food, naturally, is bananas. His dream is to grow a banana tree and eat all the bananas himself.
Now, BABY MILO® arrives as a wooden BE@RBRICK. This exquisite piece is handcrafted by the skilled artisans at Karomoku, Japan's leading furniture manufacturer. By intentionally highlighting the wood grain, this limited edition model achieves a harmonious blend of natural warmth and luxurious ambiance. Each piece boasts a unique wood grain, and the meticulously joined eye, nose, and mouth sections are details to be savored.
