Hello Kitty collaborates with local bag brand for the cutest leather bag collection

Over the weekend, local bag brand Katre launched its five-piece limited edition collaboration with Hello Kitty and it’s the cutest thing ever.

The collection is comprised of a five signature Katre bags, all adorned and made extra unique with Hello Kitty artwork.

According to Kat Erro, founder and creative director of the brand, it took the 10-year-old brand a little over a year to make the collection. “It’s the longest we’ve done a collection,” she shares, adding “every step underwent an approval process and though it was long, I really learned so much.”

Sanrio first emailed Katre in December 2018, as they were promoting Kitty’s 45th birthday. After being given access to the Hello Kitty archives, it was Kat herself who picked the artworks to be used on her bags, and designed them herself. “I picked the original, and vintage artworks,” Kat continues.

The result is nothing short of elegantly playful, if there is such a thing. — LA, GMA News

The bags start from P5,999 and are available at the Katre Glasshouse, 3/F Greenbelt Five, Makati, or on shopkatre.com.
