The purses are a collaboration with Sanui Orimono, a Hakata-ori weaver whose craft the announcement dates at more than 780 years. Each purse is built around the Niwaka mask, the half mask used in the Fukuoka performing art Hakata Niwaka, with the character's eye area worked into the mask. A rice paddle charm hangs from the zipper slider. The four characters are Kira Yamato, Athrun Zala, Lacus Clyne and Cagalli Yula Athha, and each mask eye area and body color differs by character. The outer fabric is 100% silk and the lining is synthetic leather. Each purse measures about 10.5 cm wide by 6.0 cm tall and costs 3,300 yen including tax, with shipping billed separately. Premium Bandai reservations close at 23:00 on Monday, November 23, 2026. STRICT-G stores begin general sales on Saturday, November 14, 2026, with shipping scheduled for December 2026.","whyItMatters":"The release pairs a Gundam SEED Freedom character line with a Fukuoka textile house and a local comic mask rather than the franchise's usual mecha iconography, and Bandai is also placing it at the Hikeshidama pop-up alongside the STRICT-G store rollout.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eSanui Orimono is described as preserving Hakata-ori while pursuing new possibilities, and the Niwaka mask is one many people in Fukuoka associate with Hakata.
