We love meeting new friends, especially when they take seasonal fashion so seriously! 🎃 Kobe can be seen on the streets of Philadelphia sporting a warm, yet soft and festive Halloween jumper. (Welcome to The Monster Minder crew Kobe! We like the cut of your jib!) 🧡💀🦇

Maybe it makes you wonder why YOU don't have a Halloween jumper? 👻 (Googles: Halloween sweater for adults.)
