Hello Kitty 35th Anniversary Reusable Tote

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

Here’s a Hello Kitty tote that reminds me of the Whole Foods reusable grocery tote I use for grocery shopping.

It’s made from the same plastic material and looks pretty sturdy to me, even though it’s made from plastic! Amusing though that this was in the “school supplies” section and it has a matching pencil case made from the same material.

So I guess kids can use this bag for school too!

Hello Kitty x Repetto

Monday, August 31st, 2009

Aha! This personal favorite of mine might just give me good enough reason to buy something from Hello Kitty’s 35th Anniversary collabs!

Hello Kitty printed Repettos! Wootwoo!

Now these, I definitely adore! I wonder how much these would cost though! These shoes will be available in Lane Crawford, along with special collections from American Apparel, Havaianas, Linda Farrow, Les Bijoux de Sophie and Belgian milliner Christophe Coppens.

No kidding! Hello Kitty’s official pink, blue and yellow tartan has been recognized by the Scottish Register of Tartans. And will be put to show in this collection of handbags and other accessories!

Hello Kitty x Linda Farrow

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

Among the special capsule collections of Hello Kitty-themed merchandise at Hong Kong-based retailer Lane Crawford are sunglasses from Linda Farrow!

This does not come as a surprise given that in the WWD article, it was mentioned that “In recent years, Hello Kitty’s reach has extended beyond young girls to stylish women, who shop the brand both for themselves and their daughters. Hello Kitty’s fashion quotient has increased through a bevy of collaborations with firms such as Christian Dior, Heatherette, Anna Sui and A Bathing Ape. Her celebrity following includes Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus.”

This just goes to show Hello Kitty’s fan base has really expanded, crossing generations! I won’t be surprised if one day, my daughter Berry will be so into Hello Kitty too!

Gone are the days when a Hello Kitty watch, pencil case or lunchbox is enough to get a little girl happy! 35 years sure have passed since that time. Because now, Hello Kitty has not only become very computer savvy with those Mimobot flashdrives, but has gotten more sophisticated!  This Hello Kitty x Tokidoki collection is just a taste of it! You’ll see why in my next couple of posts for next week!

Hello Kitty at H&M: A Sweatshirt

Lookie at what I found at the women’s section of H&M! A dark gray sweatshirt with Hello Kitty emblazoned on the front! I love the long & loose fit,  raglan sleeves and the hint of metallic red on Kitty’s ribbon!
