Sassy fans have long requested more color variations for standard products. This has now been realized in response to the needs of parents who want to "color their childcare more comfortably." While maintaining the high contrast and colorful combinations that attract a baby's eyes, the new colors offer a cheerful, bright, and gentle palette for daily childcare. It's a Sassy Akachan Honpo limited edition color that captivates babies and makes them want to keep it close.
