This collaboration is no different, presenting consumers with a cutesy cooler bag that's designed to make the ice cream experience even more enjoyable.

The bag arrives in three iterations, each one representing a different character from the franchise including Hello Kitty, My Melody and [Pompompurin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sanrio-x-pastel). Each one of the bags is more adorable than the next, boasting the character's face on the side and other motifs throughout.
