Shortly after their appearance on Starbucks merchandise, the four LINE characters Brown, Cony, Choco and Sally are returning to our shores again, this time on graphic tees.

The UNIQLO x LINE FRIENDS UT collection will hit the shelves on Jan 28, just in time for Chinese New Year, and will be available both in-stores and online.

Originally created as stickers for the mobile messenger app LINE, the characters have become known worldwide in recent years, appearing on official merchandise and brand collaborations. 

The coming collection by the Japanese casual clothing brand comprises five coloured tees, each with distinct designs with a heartwarming message.

To ring in the new year, the 2022 collection also sports a red tee with all four characters wearing tiger costumes and surrounded with Chinese food.
