While most collaborations with the kawaii character have played up her cutesy appeal, this capsule collection gives the kitten an edgy makeover. Continuing to curate a massive global following, Hello Kitty has taken it back to her hometown for its latest collaboration. Teaming with JAN HOME MADE, the two brands produced a capsule jewelry collection unlike any other collection of [Hello Kitty accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-kitty-heel). This interesting range is comprised of a [skull head pendant](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-halloween-jewelry) and ring which both feature Hello Kitty's iconic red bow and yellow button nose.
