WITH A DEVOTED

and vocal fan following, Loungefly has become renowned around the world as the destinatio­n for highly collectabl­e handbags and accessorie­s designed for the likes of premier brands such as Star Wars, Marvel, Disney, Harry Potter and more. In fact, such is its cult status and the fervour with which fans greet its every offering, that there are countless Facebook groups devoted to working out when the latest must-have accessory might drop so as not to be disappoint­ed!

So if someone in your life is a pop culture or anime lover, or a total film fanatic, now’s your chance to gift them the bag or accessory that will make their Christmas extra-special.

Since its launch in 1998, California­based Loungefly has been crafting premium bags and accessorie­s of our best-loved films and characters, from Frozen’s Elsa to Star Wars’ Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker and Hello Kitty (and just about any other TV and film icon in-between). Once Loungefly joined the Funko family – global leaders in pop culture merchandis­e – it finally got easier to get our hands on the sought-after authentic collectabl­es here in the UK!

With Christmas creeping up on us, why not treat someone special to a magical – and practical – gift? For the Harry Potter aficionado, there’s a Hedwig Howler mini-backpack in vegan leather with metal hardware. For the one who’s obsessed with Disney classics, a Minnie Mouse gingerbrea­d mini-backpack – with headband – is as super-sweet as the sugary treat itself ! Or, for the little princess in your life, make her dreams come true with a Disney Ultimate Princess sequin mini-backpack, with a print featuring the silhouette­s of kick-ass female characters including Belle, Mulan, Pocahontas and more. Perhaps you know a Tim Burton super-fan? They’ll love The Nightmare Before Christmas Sewing Sally cosplay mini-backpack.

All the bags include linings to match the exterior and each unique design is made to last, using premium materials and robust zips. As well as backpacks, Loungefly makes accessorie­s such as wallets, cross-body bags and cardholder­s, pieces that will inject a fun, retro feel into every outfit – and what’s not to love about that?
