Gelato Pique: « wearable desserts »
The concept behind GELATO PIQUE can almost be summed up in those words.
The Japanese brand imagines its loungewear as « wearable desserts »: pieces whose materials, colors and feel evoke something soft, light and comforting.
Its world is deeply rooted in this sensory dimension.
The colors are delicate, the patterns often playful and the materials deliberately tactile. GELATO PIQUE is particularly known for two signature textures: gelato and SMOOTHIE.
So the brand is not simply creating clothing, but a particular feeling of comfort.
A very Japanese approach to everyday life: giving importance to simple moments and paying as much attention to the experience of an object as to its function.
From our loungewear to our companions’ wardrobe
With gelato pique CAT&DOG, the brand brings this aesthetic to the wardrobes of dogs and cats.
The idea is not simply to miniaturize human clothing.
The pieces are developed with cuts adapted to different body types, while preserving the signature GELATO PIQUE codes: a soft feel, supple materials, gentle colors and deliberately cocooning silhouettes.
A way of extending the brand’s domestic universe: if GELATO PIQUE is above all about time spent at home, our pets are naturally part of it too.
This is also what caught our attention about the collection at Bijo;. It sits at the intersection of Japanese lifestyle, design and everyday care, without trying to make the object unnecessarily sophisticated.
Smoothie: a finer, lighter signature material
The piece selected for SUPER JAPAN is made from SMOOTHIE fabric.
Unlike the very thick feel one might spontaneously associate with cocooning loungewear, this material is described by GELATO PIQUE as fine, lightweight, supple and especially soft to the touch.
This lightweight feel makes it easy to wear throughout the seasons.
The composition combines:
- 86% polyester ;
- 12% nylon ;
- 2% polyurethane.
The result is a stretchy, supple material designed to move with the body without making the garment feel overly structured.
Comfort therefore comes as much from the feel of the fabric as from freedom of movement.
CAT&DOG Smoothie Two-Stripe Hoodie
For this first presentation of GELATO PIQUE PET at Bijo;, we selected the CAT&DOG Smoothie Two-Stripe Hoodie.
CAT&DOG Smoothie Two-Stripe Hoodie
At first glance, you immediately recognize the brand’s world: a soft-toned striped hoodie with a hood and a jacquard logo on the back.
But several details are designed to make it easy to wear.
Its pullover-style cut makes it particularly easy to put on, while the supple SMOOTHIE fabric moves with the body without making the garment feel overly structured.
The model is available in four colors:
- Sky Blue ;
- Pink ;
- Beige ;
- Navy Blue.
Very GELATO PIQUE shades that preserve the brand’s soft and slightly nostalgic aesthetic.
Several sizes, including a special Dachshund fit
Because a dog garment obviously cannot be chosen based on aesthetics alone, GELATO PIQUE offers the model in several sizes to suit different body types.
The hoodie presented at SUPER JAPAN is available in:
- S, M, L and XL - €50 ;
- a specific Dachshund size - €55.
This specific option is particularly interesting: a Dachshund’s elongated proportions require a different cut from a standard garment.
Above all, it highlights an essential point when choosing clothing for your pet: the right fit should come before the look.
The garment should be fitted enough to stay securely in place without restricting the dog’s natural movements.
A garment designed for everyday life
What we love about this piece is precisely its simplicity.
No complex mechanism or gimmicky feature: it is above all a oft, lightweight and easy-to-wear hoodie, designed with the same attention to feel as GELATO PIQUE’s loungewear for humans.
Its lightweight fabric makes it suitable for different times of year rather than limiting it to particularly cold weather.
And visually, the garment has enough personality to immediately convey the brand’s distinctive universe.
It is this combination of function, comfort and aesthetics that we find particularly successful.
Why Bijo; selected GELATO PIQUE PET
The Bijo; selection goes beyond skincare.
Since our first pop-ups, we have loved showing that Japanese beauty and wellness belong to a much broader world: everyday objects, textiles, fragrances, rituals and lifestyle.
With GELATO PIQUE PET, we wanted to explore a lighter side of this culture of care.
Taking care is not only about your face or body. It can also mean creating comfort at home, choosing quality objects to surround ourselves with and paying attention to our pets.
GELATO PIQUE caught our attention for its ability to turn a very simple loungewear piece into an instantly desirable object through texture, color and an especially cohesive visual identity.
The CAT&DOG line takes this idea a little further by bringing our companions into the same universe.
And we have to admit, it is hard not to find the result adorable.
Pet lifestyle, another side of Japan at SUPER JAPAN
GELATO PIQUE PET is part of a broader selection dedicated this year to wellness and pets at SUPER JAPAN.
It is a category we wanted to explore because it also tells us something about everyday life in Japan: the search for products that are functional, well designed and pleasant to use.
With GELATO PIQUE, this attention takes a very different form from the beauty tools or treatments we usually present.
No EMS, active ingredients or routines here.
Simply an incredibly soft fabric, a little striped hoodie and the idea that comfort can also be shared with those who live alongside us.
Who is the GELATO PIQUE PET hoodie for?
The CAT&DOG Smoothie Hoodie is particularly suited to you if you:
Comfort & lightness
Are looking for a soft, lightweight garment for your dog and prefer supple fabrics to very thick or rigid clothing.
Japanese lifestyle
Love GELATO PIQUE’s cozy, pastel Japanese aesthetic, or simply want to discover a cult Japanese lifestyle brand through an unexpected collection.
All seasons
Are looking for a piece that can be worn at different times of year rather than one reserved for particularly cold periods.
Dachshund fit
Have a Dachshund and appreciate having a cut specifically adapted to its body shape.
As with any garment intended for an animal, choosing the right size and ensuring comfort remain essential.
Ultimately, what we love about GELATO PIQUE is the simplicity of its idea.
Turning loungewear into something soft and enjoyable enough to become a little everyday pleasure. Then extending that same principle to our companions.
With the CAT&DOG collection, the brand’s signature fabrics, stripes and delicate colors leave our own wardrobe and make their way into the wardrobes of dogs and cats.
And for this first discovery at Bijo;, the CAT&DOG Smoothie Two-Stripe Hoodie perfectly captures this world: lightweight, soft, playful and instantly recognizable.
A new way to discover Japanese lifestyle during SUPER JAPAN — this time on four paws.
