The
fashion brand SuperGroupies is killing us with fashion; introducing their
latest collaboration with the widely popular Death Note series featuring 3
stylish items for pre-order. For those that remember or have discovered Death Note,
it was a manga, an anime series, and a series of live action movies, with a
Netflix remake that was not well received. Written by Tsugumi Ohba and
illustrated by Takeshi Obata; The story follows Light Yagami, a high school
student who stumbles across a mysterious notebook, the "Death Note", which
grants the user the ability to kill anyone whose name is written in its pages.
This
time around fans will be rocking 3 very stylish items: The Death Note Model
Watch, Tote Bag, and Foldable Wallet. This being their 1st collaboration
collection with the Death Note franchise, SuperGroupies Global Twitter plans a
special giveaway event during the pre-order period for all international fans
on Twitter. For more details, check the SuperGroupies Twitter now!
This
multifunctional watch inspired by Light’s ingenious usage of his watch in the
series, this collaboration watch has been designed with an extractable case
back, and as a fan that is a great detail to add to the watch design. This
little detail is what made Light Yagami such a force to be reckoned with
throughout the series.
The Death Note logo and Ryuk’s silhouette are engraved
into the back of the watch. These subtle designs are woven into the smallest
details. With a silver strap, black bezel, and stylish watch face, this watch
is an exceptional item to own. Priced at ¥29,800/$281.84(approx)
This
stylish tote bag is inspired by the notebook that death gods carry. The shape
of the inside pocket is designed to look like the Death Note itself. Hidden
inside is a creative lining fabric modeled after ruled notebook paper, and Light
Yagami’s name written in the notebook as it was done by Ryuk. Fans with a keen
eye will recognize the silver plating design as the designs framing the “How to
Use It” pages of the Death Note.
This accent detail also features apples from the
Human World and the Shinigami Realm, the place where death gods live. A
charm of the death god Ryuk is attached and on the leather tags are embossed
inscriptions of the iconic phrase: “Once dead, they can never come back to
life.” and the numbers representing Light Yagami’s lifespan. Priced
at ¥13,800/$130.52(approx)
This
foldable wallet features a stark contrast when opened. The lining fabric of the
paper bills and change compartments inspired by how the pages of the Death Note
look once they are in use. This is an original SuperGroupies design! Delving
deeper into the card slots, you’ll find a print tag tucked away, representing
the scraps of the Death Note that Light hid in his wallet.
Understated at first glance, this wallet
contains countless nods toward the series, such as the apples on the
silver plate, Ryuk’s Death Note holder, Light’s strategic use of his wallet,
and even more. This is a must-have item for all Death Note fans! Priced at ¥ 9,800/$92.69(approx)

items are available for preorder has started since July 20th, 2020 and
