CLOT and Pop Mart's MEGA SPACE MOLLY Launch Mahjong-Themed Collaboration at Concord Freezer Room

CLOT and Pop Mart's MEGA SPACE MOLLY released a mahjong- and silk-themed collaboration series, launching at a new Concord Freezer Room retail space on November 4, 2026.

Streetwear label CLOT has released a collaboration series with MEGA SPACE MOLLY (泡泡玛特), Pop Mart's oversized collectible figure line, themed around "Gang Shang Kai Fa" (杠上开發) — a phrase riffing on the mahjong idiom "gang shang kai hua," meaning to score a bonus win. The collection integrates CLOT's signature silk patterns and mahjong cultural motifs into the SPACE MOLLY character design. Products in the series include ceramic and metal incense burners with flexible components, dice pouches in multiple materials with detachable hanging cords, metal dice pendants with removable dice, and acrylic mahjong sets featuring CLOT patterns and SPACE MOLLY imagery on the tile backs.

The collaboration launched on November 4, 2026, alongside the opening of a new retail space at Concord Freezer Room (凝结冰室), where all products are displayed in-store. The retail environment incorporates Chinese cultural elements alongside CLOT's silk pattern design language, extending the Eastern aesthetic of the collection into the physical shopping experience.

The pairing of CLOT's heritage-rooted design vocabulary — silk, mahjong, and traditional auspicious iconography — with MOLLY's globally recognisable collectible figure format positions the series at the intersection of fashion, art toys, and cultural artefact. The product range, spanning incense burners to full mahjong sets, reaches well beyond conventional apparel collaboration formats, treating everyday ritual objects as the primary canvas.
