“This is a hugely exciting deal for both MINISO and Snoopy fans,” says Ada Dou, executive vice president, MINISO. “Partnering with the world’s biggest IPs is a key part of our strategy as we look to transform into a global lifestyle super brand.

MINISO has an outstanding record of fabulous IP collections, so I am looking forward to seeing this collection come to life to delight fans of both Peanuts and MINISO.”
