7 of the Craziest Hello Kitty Brand Extensions

By Digiday • December 13, 2013 •

Of all of Sanrio’s cute cartoon creations, Hello Kitty is the most instantly iconic. As the global ambassador for Japanese cuteness, Hello Kitty has become her own brand — and thanks to Sanrio’s promiscuous licensing policy, Hello Kitty products are all over the place.
