The design team at Levi’s said: “Princess Mononoke features hand-painted backgrounds depicting gorgeous scenes in nature, and that’s something we felt really inspired by.”
The collection plays on the light and dark of the film, with light denim day and dark denim night options.
The light denim options include a light indigo denim with characters San and Ashitaka, a San & Wolf trucker jacket and Ashitaka jeans or San & Moro shorts.
The dark denim options include the Nightwalker denim kimono jacket and the Kodama denim overall.
As well as denim pieces, there’s also graphic tees and hoodies, that are “more streetwear-inspired than the denim”.
You can also get accessories, with a twist on the classic Levi’s bandana that features San’s mystical red battle mask.
There’s also the Ancient Forest bucket hat, a San & Ashitaka tote bag, and two coin bags, one featuring San’s mask and the other a Kodama face.
Fans who sign up to Levi’s Red Tab member club – which is free to sign up to – can get early access to the collection.
The early access is now live, while it will be released to the general public on 10 August via levis.com.
