In 1999, KAWS was approached by Bounty Hunter, a Japanese streetwear brand, to visit Japan. This trip led to the creation of KAWS' first toy, COMPANION. Produced in an edition of 500, the toys sold out almost immediately. COMPANION became a recurring figure in KAWS' work.

Chapter 6

Donnelly's current collection with the Japanese brand sees him redrawing beloved Sesame Street characters on a collection of T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies and toys. All priced under $50, the pieces feature the tagline, ‘You’re never too old for the street’. Donnelly moved his store onto his own platform, shipping direct to the customer to maintain ownership over his business.
