Aville, the fashion and goods retailer, will release a new line of Sanrio character merchandise featuring KIRIMI chan and Hello Kitty starting August 29. The items will be available at all physical store locations nationwide from that date, with the online store opening at noon on the same day. The KIRIMI chan lineup includes everyday-use items such as key cases, shopping bags, and die-cut cushions. Aville has placed a purchase limit of one item per product name per customer for these goods. The apparel portion of the collection will be sold through the online store, with no quantity restrictions. The clothing includes an all-over print zip hoodie and pants, a Hello Kitty embroidered zip hoodie, and pants with rhinestone details made from fabric with glitter. Aville directs customers to its official X account for further details on the release.
- The collection is part of Aville's broader Sanrio character lineup, which also includes an "いちごみるく" (strawberry milk) themed capsule toy series from PUTITTO featuring Pocchacco and My Melody, per the Inside article's related links.
- Inside's related items note that Aville's parent company Shimamura is releasing "Chiikawa" apparel and goods on August 26, including a "kurimanju" roomwear set with increased fur volume, bedding, and slippers.
- The KIRIMI chan key case, shopping bag, and die-cut cushion are positioned as everyday-use items, with the die-cut cushion described as a "daily-use" accessory rather than a decorative piece.
- The Hello Kitty embroidered zip hoodie and the rhinestone pants are made from fabric with glitter (ラメ入り生地), a detail the summary mentions but the source highlights as a key "cute" selling point.
- Inside notes the apparel is sold exclusively through the online store, not at physical locations, which matches the summary's statement that the clothing has no purchase limits.
