This patch has a sticker back. There is no need for ironing or sewing. Simply peel off the backing paper to attach it easily to fabric, plastic, metal, and more.
POY: ¥2,200 (tax included)
POY (ポーイ) is a portable trash bin that lets you toss ("poi!") small bits of trash that come up while you are out. When you get home, just empty the contents. It is palm-sized and unobtrusive, so you can keep it in your bag or attach it with a carabiner, making it ideal for carrying on outings.
