Char Azanable inspires new official Gundam bag collection

Bandai’s official Gundam apparel brand “STRICT-G” has announced a high-functionality collaboration with the renowned Japanese bag brand “master-piece”.
The collection is inspired by Char Aznable, the iconic antagonist of the original Mobile Suit Gundam series known as the “Red Comet,” featuring his signature crimson color scheme and personal emblem.

Produced entirely in Japan at master-piece’s own factory, these items fuse fashion with high-level durability.
The main body material utilizes “Breathatec®,” a three-layer nylon structure that offers lightweight performance, high water repellency, and excellent breathability.

The design incorporates red accents symbolizing Char’s custom mobile suits, leather name tags engraved with his personal mark, and functional tape loops that can serve as towel holders.
