Pokémon and high-end cookware brand Le Creuset are collaborating on a range of kitchenware, and if you weren’t already considering shelling out half your pay for their aesthetically pleasing cast iron products, you just might be now.
The Le Creuset Pokémon Collection is set to launch online and in-store in Australia and New Zealand in two phases, with the first drop happening on July 30. The range will also be available in Japan and select regions in Asia and South Africa. The collection includes enamelled cast iron pots, an old-timey classic kettle, mugs & plates, and two Poké-Ball tableware sets, amongst other products. Oh dear lord, my wallet hurts already. Was the local Pokémon Center not enough?
The second phase of the Pokémon Collection will launch in November this year, and you can check it all out via the Le Creuset website to see what you’ll be able to cop (and how much it’ll set you back).
