“Hello Kitty,” a hugely popular character whose trademark is a red bow.

What’s gaining popularity right now would be Heisei retro designs. Among these, tanned Kitty and leopard print designs are drawing attention once again. Even looking at it in the Reiwa era now, its presence is outstanding, and it’s an item you’ll want to use every day.

Hello! I’m Sekai, a virtual reporter for Perfect World Tokyo!
What I’m introducing this time are everyday items featuring “Hello Kitty,” an idol-like character that continues to be loved across generations. This time, it’s an eco bag featuring a leopard print × tanned-up Kitty that’s totally cool.

The nice point is that it folds up, making it easy to carry in bags and such. Even when folded, a glimpse of cool Kitty peeks through. This really gets you excited! Being M-size, its storage capacity is outstanding, so you can feel secure even on days when you have lots of luggage. Size: 55cm × 35cm × 12cm Material: Polyester

The leopard print enjoyed explosive popularity from the early to mid-2000s, the so-called peak of the Heisei era kogal and gal boom. Though it was a trendy pattern back then, even seeing it now its presence is huge. It’s sure to instantly boost your gal vibes.

Black gives a bit of a cool impression. The regular Kitty is lovely, but Kitty with sunglasses on, looking cool and trendy, is absolutely the best. Since Reiwa era designs tend to have a lot of soft, fluffy aesthetics like pastels, the gal design stands out even more! It’s so cute you’ll want to carry it with you every day.

This time, I introduced design items from Hello Kitty’s leopard print × tanned Kitty collection. The hugely popular Heisei gal design! The kogal vibes and presence really are the best! It seems there are many more lineup options for items packed with Heisei retro vibes. Designs that make you feel nostalgic just by looking at them never get old! How about you all take this opportunity to get some emotional, emo-filled Kitty items?
