Feline Culinary-Inspired Tees

'Johnny Cupcakes x Hello Kitty' Shirts Spices up the Sanrio World

The world of Sanrio has gotten a wicked makeover thanks to a collaborative effort that's led to the Johnny Cupcakes x Hello Kitty Shirts.

This won't be the first time the American brand has featured everyone's favorite Japanese feline. The new series of Johnny Cupcakes x Hello Kitty Shirts stays true to the style Johnny Cupcakes is known for: bold, vibrant, colorful graphics. There will be three different tees available with independent designs and colors that should satisfy anyone. I should also mention that like the first collection, these are EXTREMELY limited in numbers and are hard to find. So expect long line-ups at the store and a huge jam in online traffic.

The Johnny Cupcakes x Hello Kitty Shirts are available now, so get them while you still can!
