I helped bring the LittleBigPlanet PlayStation Home hoodie into real life.

I wanted to share a project that has been really special to me as a longtime LittleBigPlanet fan.
Some of you might remember the LittleBigPlanet hoodie/outfit that existed in PlayStation Home. Like a lot of virtual clothing from that era, it was something you could see your avatar wearing, but there was never really a way to own that exact piece in real life.
I decided I wanted to change that.
I ended up collaborating with someone to study the original PlayStation Home hoodie and recreate it as accurately as we could as a real, wearable hoodie. We spent a lot of time looking at references, figuring out the graphics, colors, cuff details, zipper area, Sackboy artwork, and the smaller details that made the original design recognizable.
The goal was never to make some completely new interpretation of it. I wanted it to feel like somebody had taken the hoodie directly out of PlayStation Home and made it exist in the real world.
One of the biggest reasons I wanted to do this was preservation. PlayStation Home is gone, and a lot of the clothing, promotional material, and artwork connected to that era of PlayStation and LittleBigPlanet is becoming harder to properly document. Projects like this are a way of keeping a tiny piece of that history alive.
I also want to make something very clear: everyone is welcome to use the designs we created.
If you’re another LBP fan and you want to make your own hoodie, improve the design, use the recreated graphics for a personal project, or simply archive them, please do. I’m not interested in gatekeeping the work. I’d actually love to see more people make their own versions.
This was made by fans because we love LittleBigPlanet, and I think it should stay available to the community.
I’ll be sharing the design files/references so anyone interested can use them.
LittleBigPlanet was always a game about Play, Create, Share, so making the finished work available to everyone feels like the most LBP way possible to complete the project.
And if anyone ends up making their own real-life version using these designs, please post it. I’d genuinely love to see it.

PS the main logo design I chose something different as I couldn’t find a higher resolution of the original off the hoodie.

2014 Gamescom Bag

Hello everyone,
these LittleBigPlanet 3 messenger bags appear to have been created as promotional merchandise surrounding the release and marketing of LittleBigPlanet 3 in 2014 at Gamescom. Rather than being a standard piece of merchandise sold alongside the game, bags like these were produced for promotional use, including gaming events, press activities, competitions, giveaways, and other PlayStation marketing campaigns. One of the most interesting aspects of the bags is that multiple designs exist. The examples shown here share the same basic messenger-bag construction and sewn LittleBigPlanet 3 logo patch, but the exterior material features different artwork and colors. This suggests that the bags were manufactured from different sections of larger printed promotional material, meaning individual bags could have noticeably different patterns depending on which portion of the material was used. As a result, two authentic examples may look completely different while still belonging to the same promotional run. Their limited distribution, unusual construction, and variation between examples make these bags an interesting surviving piece of the physical promotional campaign for LittleBigPlanet 3 and the era of PlayStation event merchandise surrounding the game’s 2014 launch. I believe the 3rd photo that I provided was the artwork used for these bags. If anyone has anymore info please reach out!
Thanks
