Cost Plus World Market Partners With Sanrio to Launch Exclusive Hello Kitty® Merchandise

In celebration of the upcoming fall season of Omatsuri and Hello Kitty’s 45th Anniversary, Cost Plus World Market® has launched its latest Hello Kitty Collection® from Sanrio in stores and online at www.worldmarket.com.

This limited, special Omatsuri collection features the global icon along with a few of her friends, including Badtz-Maru™, Keroppi™ and Chococat™. Exclusive to World Market®, the collection includes trinket dishes, stationery, tote bags, plush toys, tabletop ceramics, food and drinks, and more. Fans and collectors should take note that these adorable items are only around for a short time.

Meet Hello Kitty in person!

Fans will have a chance to meet Hello Kitty at five in-store meet & greet events throughout August and September in select cities around the U.S. In addition, customers can sample some of her favorite treats and have their name drawn in Japanese calligraphy by celebrated artist Kuniharu Yoshida. Calligraphy is free and limited to one per person. Each event is open to the public, first-come, first-served and is subject to change or cancellation.
