Hello Kitty Joins ARTISAN&ARTIST* For Eight Styles On October 7
The lineup is aimed at adult women and priced as such, ranging up to 49,500 yen, so this is Sanrio's character licensing positioned against a bag brand's existing long-selling stock rather than a goods drop for kids.

A Hello Kitty and ARTISAN&ARTIST* collaboration series of eight styles goes on sale October 7, 2026, including pouches, knit totes, and a clasp backpack. The HK Series comes in black and pink, with prices from 8,800 yen for the Handy Make Dresser Mini to 25,300 yen for the Standard Vanity. The knit totes cost 17,600 and 18,150 yen, and the Clasp Standard Hello Kitty costs 49,500 yen.
The theme is "Hello Kitty that adult women want to carry," and the materials match the price: the Handy Make Dresser Mini is water-repellent polyester with original Hello Kitty embroidery, the tote bags are machine washable, and the clasp backpack is glossy nylon with same-color Kitty face embroidery, whiskers, eyelash embroidery, and a 3D ribbon.
