PLEATS PLEASE ISSEY MIYAKE, which offers a selection of easy-to-find accessories, will be releasing bags from its new "NOUGAT TRIANGLE" series, featuring a triangular motif, in March. Other apparel items on sale include "MONTHLY COLORS: MARCH 2," which features a heathered pattern of Middle Eastern soil and architecture, and "DRAGON," whose jagged fringe exudes the strength of a dragon.

On the other hand, BAO BAO ISSEY MIYAKE will be carrying the brand's full lineup, including men's wear. In March, in addition to the bag series "CRYSTAL," "ROCK-3," and "LUCENT-2," hair accessories using pieces from the Platinum series were released. Men's items are also available.
