Collection: Soot Sprite Keychain

Carry a Bit of Ghibli Whimsy: Meet the Soot Sprite Keychains

Say hello to the tiniest, fluffiest mischief-makers from the Studio Ghibli universe: the Soot Sprite Keychains! Straight from the shadowy corners of My Neighbor Totoro and Spirited Away, these little puffball spirits are now your favorite travel-sized companions. Soft, iconic, and totally irresistible, these keychains are more than just cute—they're portable pieces of Ghibli magic.

Whether clipped to your keys, backpack, purse, or displayed with pride on a lanyard or zipper pull, Soot Sprite Keychains add a playful touch of nostalgia and anime flair to your everyday style. With their fuzzy black forms, googly eyes, and cheeky little star candies or pom-pom accents, they turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.

These aren’t just accessories. They’re conversation starters, mood boosters, and reminders that magic exists in the smallest details. And every time you see one peek from your bag or bounce at your side, you’ll be reminded of Ghibli’s philosophy: that joy, kindness, and spirit often come in the tiniest forms.

Small But Mighty: How They're Made

Each Soot Sprite Keychain is made with high-quality materials designed to be soft to the touch, sturdy enough to last, and adorable from every angle. Think plush perfection with just the right amount of whimsy.

From their plush, fluffy texture to their oversized eyes and fun dangling elements, these keychains are hand-assembled with attention to detail. Some even come with little star-shaped candy charms—a direct nod to the soot sprites’ favorite treat from Spirited Away.

Their round, pom-pom bodies are made from velvety fleece or ultra-soft microfiber, built to resist wear and tear while staying huggable and cute. The charm clasps are sturdy, making them easy to attach or detach from your favorite items. You can carry them daily without worry.
