Pikachu meets the luxury of being fueled by leather. Starting today, in celebration of the franchise’s 30th anniversary, a brand new Maison de Sable x Pokemon drop will be unveiled and available for purchase at Nordstrom. Brimming with nostalgia while maintaining the premium leather manufacturer’s instantly recognizable design codes.
For all the IRL Pokemon trainers out there who know the egg cycle and the origin of the phrase “Pikachu, I choose you,” what exactly is in store? Show off your Pokemon fan club membership with a palm-sized tri-fold wallet (there’s also a more compact bi-fold wallet in this collection). Maison de Sable’s centerpiece, the medium Palais handbag, is adorned with lightning bolt accents, Poké balls, and the yellowish mouse-like creature itself. Not one, 4 Whether you prefer a smiling, winking, or heart-eyed Pikachu, repeat the Sabrémoji Pokémon Charm. It also comes with a coin purse that easily clips onto my newly purchased Palé catchall.

“Pokémon has always been about connection and companionship,” said Omar Sablé, creative director and co-founder of Maison de Sable, in a press release. “We wanted our customers to feel like a trainer who takes Pikachu around all day, while expressing the character through craftsmanship.”
Zane Sable, the second son of the Australian-based leather house founded around 2017, reiterated that the limited edition capsule was in no way intended to be a “novelty diversion”, meaning that everything you’ll definitely find at Nordstrom is very wearable and consistent with the overall aesthetic. Plus, we have items from coin purses to tri-fold wallets to help make your life more organized. Whether you need a chic place to store your expensive Pokémon trading cards or are looking for a hands-free way to carry all your knick-knacks during your next trip to Europe, Maison de Sable x Pokémon is ready to deliver in all its playful yet lofty glory.

Coinciding with Pokémon Day, which is celebrated every February 27th and commemorates the debut of the Pokémon Red and Green games in 1996, Maison de Sable’s latest creation is one of the smartest and most fashionable Pokémon collaborations we’ve ever seen. That “wow” factor is especially noticeable when you consider everything that went into creating the collection’s centerpiece, the Palais Medium Bag. Of course, it’s already sold out on the Maison de Sable website.
Its luxurious pecan-colored calfskin leather has 44 individually cut panels that were “hand-assembled over two days to create a rich three-dimensional effect,” according to the brand. We’re loving every detail here, from the Pikachu-sized paw print on the outside of the bag to the statement accessory that comes with two interchangeable straps for crossbody wear. And you’ll soon think so too.
I know what I have to do. Catch them all! But if the release of Maison de Sable x Pokemon is any indication of its instant popularity, time is running out. (Translation: When trying to escape from a Poké Ball, act as fast as Pikachu.)
