ALOHA Collection Tapped Hello Kitty for Inspiration
ALOHA Collection, a brand specializing in functional and water-resistant bags, has partnered with Sanrio to release a limited-edition line featuring the Hello Kitty character.
This collaborative range includes the Hello Kitty Face Mid Pouch, the ALOHA Icons Crossbody silhouette, the Hawaii Kawaii Icons Cabin Crew Kit, the Hello Kitty Face Reversible Tote, the ALOHA Icons Day Tripper, the Mini Pouch Trio, the Cutie Clip-On Pouch, and the Hearts & Bows Dopp Kit. All of these models feature ALOHA Collection's signature splash-proof material, alongside the adorable color palette and aesthetics that Hello Kitty is associated with.
The ALOHA Collection x Sanrio collaboration is also structured in three distinct assortments — a national line available online and ALOHA retail stores in the US, a Hawai‘i-Exclusive Capsule, and DFS Exclusive Styles.
