Harumika is the award-winning toy from Bandai that lets girls use their imagination to create their own fashions with fabrics and accessories. What I like best about Harumika products is that there’s no glueing, sewing or scissors involved. The unique “Style Lock” system and the included stylus tools make it easy to wrap, drape, and tuck the fabrics and accessories around the Harumika mannequins – which now include puppies and purses!

Awarded the coveted Good Housekeeping“2010 Best Toy Award,” Harumika continues its leadership position in the fashion design activity category by expanding its product line, offering girls more fun ways to “style their imagination” and create their own fashions with colorful fabrics and chic accessories. From puppies to purses, wedding dresses to fashion showstoppers, Harumika is making waves for aspiring fashionistas everywhere.

Kaitlyn was sent the Harumika Zebra Flare Purse Collection and the Harumika Punk Pug Puppy Collection to review.   The purse set comes with a purse, stylus tool, custom display stand, and two special-cut fabrics. The purse has a removable gem on the front that helps hold the fabric in place and finishes the look. Here’s Chris helping Kaitlyn wrap and tuck the fabric:

Younger girls might need help learning how to center the purse on the fabric before starting to tuck it in, once Kaitlyn got the hang of it though, she got all the fabric tucked in and the gem centered on her finished purse. Here she is proudly showing it off!  Retail price – $7.99.

The Harumika Puppy set comes with one of four cute puppies, three special-cut fabrics, a bow and leash, a bed that can also be styled, and a bone-shaped stylus tool. Unfortunately I can’t show you my own photo since Kaitlyn misplaced the dog shortly after we got it and we can’t find it anywhere. The four puppy collections are Classy Chic Chihuahua, Trendy Terrier, Pretty Poodle, and Punk Pug. This shows what came in the Punk Pug Collection that Kaitlyn reviewed:

See the two holes on the fabrics? You slip the puppy’s front legs through those holes and then tuck the extra fabric into the style lock underneath – genius! Kaitlyn loved getting the puppy in a new “outfit” and then putting it in the bed – at least until she misplaced it Retail price – $7.99.
