Hello Kitty Cashmere
Hello Kitty is pawing her cute little charming way out of the local mall. The Sanrio favorite lipless white cat, popular worldwide for more than 40 years is expanding into further cuddly-ness: the most luxurious knit of all, cashmere.
Philippe Chiriki, owner of “Victoria Couture” introduces “Hello Kitty Cashmere,” an upscale (what else would cashmere be?) line for all ages. Celebrity fans, like model Kate Moss, have already caught a glimpse of the line and love it.
Included in Chiriki’s line are sweaters, hats, scarves, gloves, pillows and more items, featuring the signature “Hello Kitty” logo. Chiriki will add high-end t-shirts, denim and more apparel.
The line will be sold in boutiques in the U.S. and Canada, including such iconic shops as Kitson, Scoop, Lulu, Fed Segal, as well as the Neiman Marcus catalogue and Neiman Marcus on-line. For more information, visit Chiriki’s site, www.victorialcouture.com.
Styles include:
Newborn: Onesies, one-piece zip bottoms, sweaters, baby blankets and beanies, with an embroidered Hello Kitty logo.
Kids: V-Neck, Crew Neck, Cardigan sweaters, Sweater dresses, as well as hoodies, hats, scarves, ponchos and gloves, all embellished.
Teens and women also have a wide variety of styles and price ranges to select from, too.
For those who have to have everything, the most valued piece in the line is “The Collector,” and retails for approximately $1650. A “V-Neck” sweater retails for $295.
The line seems destined to merge the retro, kitsch effect with high-fashion and comfort –what more could a daring fashionista ask for?
