Gift the Reflection of Royalty With This Enchanting Mulan Loungefly Bag

io9: That is so cool. What’s the vibe with how the bags are styled over there, and what was the feedback you got from fans? 

DeSilva:  Do you know what I noticed? There’s like a big difference in that here [in the U.S.], we definitely fully embrace our fandoms, and it’s different there. When we went to the park there, there’s people wearing ears and the backpacks. But I feel like when I go to the parks here in the states, I see a lot of people wearing the shirt and the ears and the bag and all the things. There’s a lot of expression. [In Europe], it’s definitely more toned down; it’s a little more subtle [from] what I saw in [Disneyland] Paris. Walking around, I was wearing ears, a shirt, a mini backpack, and a cross body—all Brave Little Tailor. I definitely felt people like looking at me like, “Well, this girl’s got a lot going on.”

So we work very closely with the Paris teams on their exclusives and they definitely have insight and feedback for us that’s specific to their customer. There’s always really interesting things to me—here, we’re very all about cards and we pay with cards most of the time, right? And when we were designing some collections for Japan, we had to really rework the wallet silhouette. They are still more of a coin-carrying society, so they needed those pouches for coins. It’s really interesting when you work with different parts of the world, like what matters in terms of functionality of their bags.
