ASOS and Hello Kitty have teamed up to bring consumers a 40-piece clothing line, which boasts Sanrio's iconic cartoon cat.
The line is comprised of jewelry, shoes, sweaters, t-shirts and more, all decorated with the adorable character. A gorgeous blue and white long sleeve shirt with a simple Hello Kitty pocket square serves as the perfect way to show appreciation for the more subtle fans. Other products boldly pay homage to the character, like a cozy crewneck sweater, which is complete with a large print of Hello Kitty.
This line serves as an example of Sanrio's ability to reinvent the nostalgic character with a modern twist. This stylish collaboration would appeal to lovers of Hello Kitty.
