Hello Kitty is no stranger to a brand collab. Between Baggu, Pottery Barn, Judith Leiber Couture and Coverse, the top names in fashion and design have partnered with Sanrio and the famous white cat (who’s apparently not actually a cat, according to the creators) for years. And with the beloved character turning 50 this year, the Hello Kitty clothing, accessories, beauty and home goods have been both coming in hot and flying off the shelves.
Brought to life by Yuko Shimizu in 1974, Hello Kitty (whose real name is actually Kitty White) is a fictional character owned by Japanese entertainment company Sanrio. She’s been the star of numerous animated series, films, comics and video games throughout the decades, and her appeal and fandom has only seemed to grow over time.
As both the company and the world celebrate Hello Kitty’s birthday, brands like Forever 21, Crocs, OPI and Baccarat have been creating exclusive 50th anniversary collectibles. Here are the 23 products and capsules still available to shop before they sell out completely (many are close).
