Hello Kitty is back again with these funky necklaces. The crashing cat teamed up with AMBUSH and can be seen in the gallery above sitting atop their signature ‘Pow’ pendants.

In combination with a [gold-colored chain](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iconic-ice-cream), the [Hello Kitty pendants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baccarat-x-hello-kitty-crystal-figurine) come in three colours: gold, neon pink and neon green.

**Implications** - As the economic power shifts from the USA to China, we'll be seeing a lot more [Sarnio products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skullpanda-x-sanrio) at our front doors. The cutesy, childlike look of Hello Kitty may seem harmless, but the character is a dominant force to be reckoned with. To stay afloat during this time of economic uncertainty, businesses need to make sure to consider the influence of eastern culture.
